Angle

— Product Vision —

We are developing an app called Angle, a platform that helps users exchange, share, and curate photos in a collaborative space. Users can create, join, or invite each other to a shared album, and upload photos for other members of the album to download, share to social media, and curate for themselves. Unlike other photo sharing platforms,

Angle creates a unique experience for each user by allowing them to pick and choose photos from these shared albums, and create their own version of events within their own curated albums.

Imagine you’re at a large event with a lot of friends and family like a wedding or music festival. You’ve taken a lot of great pictures but don’t have any of yourself, and also have a lot of pictures of those you were with. Or maybe you were caught in a certain moment and forgot to snap pictures of something special that you would like to remember. With Angle, you and your friends can upload and share all the photos you’ve taken from that event so that you’ll never miss an important moment, be able to choose the pictures that you feel captured the event the best, and create your own unique perspective for others to experience.
