List of Imaging Applications
In the late 2020s, I had ample free time, which allowed me to experiment with various image and video tools. Later, I became involved in the development of a popular video editing tool, and based on my interest in similar products, I created the first software collection website, then known as the Imaging Toolbox. I enjoyed compiling all the products I had experienced, and it was interesting that the website even received a nomination for the Framer Annual Website.

List of Retro Film Presets
In 2022, I collated many of the film simulation presets I had shared, so I didn't have to continually introduce others to the color grading and post-processing I recommended. This ranged from photo presets to later video LUTs.

List of Retro Cameras Available for Sale
Starting in 2024, my interest in film cameras and instant cameras grew significantly. This exploration led me to discover that many film cameras were still being produced, primarily focusing on disposable cameras and Polaroid instant cameras. This piqued my interest in compiling a list of available film and instant cameras.

Final Database
You may have noticed that when I was creating these side projects, I didn't think much about them. Each project had its own unique design, and even the backend was built differently for each. When there was only one project, it wasn't a big deal to maintain and update, but as the number of projects grew, the cost increased.
Recently, during a moment of reflection, I decided to merge these projects into one. I realized that at the core, they were all lists, and there were other lists I hadn't listed. Moreover, the audiences for these projects were the same, so I could integrate them all.
So, I abandoned their distinct designs and adopted a minimalist style, embedding Airtable as the database in each page. Now, with only one database to update, my efficiency has skyrocketed.

In summary, collecting useful items for photography and videography enthusiasts brings me joy, and I hope you can reach out with your thoughts. If these can be of help to you, that would be great.
