Good news, everyone: I'm ready to launch #ssssampler alpha test on Testflight. "But" news: it requires an Apple Developer account that costs $99/year, and I totally haven't expected that. Well, I’m not a real developer. Hit the link for ways to donate: linktr.ee/natapokrovsk...

I think I'll launch the alpha testing next week, so if you're interested in trying, or have questions, DM me! And share this post with the world, because it deserves a fun camera like this. 4/4

I searched the App Store — but it turns out, no one has made a Supersampler-inspired camera app yet. Vibecoding to the rescue!
Let me proudly present to you: the #SSSSAMPLER camera app for iPhone. It's my take on the Supersampler aesthetic, reimagined for today's iPhones. 3/

I love Lomo action cameras, especially this one for its cinematic format, but shooting film these days is a luxury I reserve for my “slow mode” Hasselblad and Leica. But surely there must be an app for that? 2/
