SteemShutter is about to come out in a few days.

So what is SteemShutter?

SteemShutter is a reason why I sit in front my computer every day trying to make a blog but I end up programming, learning program language Swift 4. So I almost made a Steem/Steemit personalized camera app that can add your Steemit signature in the corner of the photos you take. I didn't want to copy some code from Github and I wanted to learn all, so that's why this lasts for months. Swift 4 is easy program language, Xcode is a great software to make applications for Apple platforms. So I decided to start with this iPhone app, although I know that iUsers are the ​minority in this community. But this app will be completely free, the source code will be available on Github, so everyone will be able to work on it or to make an Android app. I really don't have problems with that. I would be happy if someone finds this a good idea and make some contribution.

Steemit helped me a lot in my life, so I wanted to give something to Steemit.

I am almost finished and I want to share with you what I have up to now. And I have some questions, as a noob, I would be glad if some pro reads this and shares with me some advice.


What's so special about SteemShutter?

I created a capture session, configured the camera device, inputs, outputs, preview layer and the action of taking the photo. I didn't sleep​ until​ I didn't add flash and one morning I just realized that flash mode was the easiest code in my app. I configured switch camera function, zoom in and zoom out, and "tap to focus" focus function. And it took time for me to figure out the AVFoundation Framework, I really wanted to understand how things work and I found the making of iPhone apps one of the easiest ways to start dealing with coding.

I wanted to add the ​Steemit logo and Steemit images as buttons and logos inside the application, as you can see on a screenshot from my iPhone SE. But I suck as a graphic designer so I asked some help from @svarozich, so the buttons were designed by him.

So is there anyone with some experience reading this and has some idea?

Am I allowed​ to use these Steemit images and will someone bother with that?


Next thing in SteemShutter is "Signature Creator".

You can make your own signature that will be placed in a corner of your photograph. For now, you'll be able to choose one of four fonts, but the updates will come very soon and I will add more fonts. Check the screenshots:

The last screenshot is where I am now, I am trying to make a decision should I export the signature as png image that will be added to your photo, or as UserDefault function inside the app.

And I have to add filters for photos (I figured how) but it would be nice if Steemit users would send e some stickers that they want to use on their entries on different photo contests. I'm thinking about setting photos to a lower resolution to fit in a Steemit blog, but still,​ I want to use the hardware's best performances.


So it will be at the AppStore in a few days, I enrolled in Apple development program, and I have few different but interesting idea. I hope that you will like them.

Thank you!!!

I wish you all the best, I had an app added to IOS and Android, not an easy task!

I know! Especially if you want to know "why" and not only "what"! Thank you

It looks amazing! I'd love to use this once someone or maybe you could create the app for android users like me.. I have zero idea about coding... T_T But I think i could be fun to learn... Good luck with this and I'm looking forward for it's availability on android.. ^^

That's why I posted this today, I want to find someone with a little bit experience to help me out with android version. Thank you

I hope you could find one!!! ^^

Please check this Breaking News!

I love the "Signature Creator" it is really cool and exactly what we need here. You did a good job, keep it up :) Will wait for the next update to get it!

Thank you for all of your support, I think that Friday will be the day

Ok thats cool, thank you :)

Sorry I know nothing about coding but what an awesome idea and great work

I am not sure but I remember reading somewhere that the Steem logo is free to use but the new Steemit logo is copyrighted and should not be used

That's the info I need! That's why I made this post to be sure what I am allowed to do! I won't do anything that Steemit developers don't like...

I cannot Remember where I saw it off hand but will try and see if it can come back to me

If you remember where you saw that, or find a link again, please paste it here

Looks pretty cool but I cannot comment much as I am no expert in UI

Thank you anyway, support of a user that takes a lot of photos is important! It looks like it's problem now that I used Steemit logo :(... i'll think up something

Great and selfless work mate.... Keep it up. I'm impressed.

Thank you!

Step by step...ideas will come :)

We do this together, thank you very much for all!

👍 thank you

I like the idea, the design, the whole thing! It is something useful for the platform and I am sure that many users will be happy to use it. I will install it for sure.
You made a great effort for improving Steemit experience, and this is something I didn't see for a long time here. Great job from a Great Steemian!

Post your good broder @dumar22 :)

SteemShutter seems a great idea... but if you are not allowed to use Steemit logo, what are you going to do? thanks for your effort @dumar022

That is a very smart idea!
