2 Years Later: The First Instagram Photo
- rubyrescue 14y agoi doubt that's really the first photo. I recently built http://whisper.sh http://whisper.sh - it's an anonymous social network built around photos, like PostSecret (before they shut it down). We have hundreds and hundreds of "first photos". We erased the 'production' server dozens of times before apple accepted. It's the nature of testing a photo app. But i guess you have to just pick one and make it the 'first'.
- eLobato 14y agoWhy is this on HN? Are we reddit now or something like that? I don't know if it's only me or during the last year the amount of good technical articles on HN is decreasing month by month, whereas Techcrunch articles on startup investments, vim/sublime/whatever editor tutorials, hiring people, gadget reviews are getting upvoted to the heavens. Out of 30 articles on the frontpage 4 are technical and only 2 are really deep. Sorry for the venting but I have the hope I'm not the only one missing old technical HN instead of what it's becoming now.
