I underestimated the power of Claude Design. Currently working on an app that's going to shake up stock photo service. Stock photo services have remained the same for the past decade. Expensive and limiting.
The stock photo market is broken in the same direction on both ends. Buyers pay $30–$70/mo for access to 400M+ generic assets they'll scroll past anyway. Creators earn as little as 15% — and on Shutterstock, that resets to zero every January. The only platform that actually pays creators fairly (Stocksy, 50–75%) has no subscription option for buyers. Nobody has solved both sides at once: flat, affordable access for buyers and real revenue share for photographers. That's the gap. That's Pic Pass.
I'm very much in the early stages, but what would've taken me weeks has only taken me less than a day to research and prototype.
