PixelPeeper (2017–)

PixelPeeper is a web app for photographers that reveals details about JPG files: it’s an EXIF data viewer, that’ll show you camera settings and Lightroom edits made to the file.

The name of the site is a (somewhat derogatory) term for someone who zooms into their photos to 100% (or higher), trying to find imperfections of the camera or lens at the pixel level. In other words, a pixel peeper is someone who gives too much importance to technical aspects of photography. I thought it was a nice tongue-in-cheek name for a website that allows to dissect photos into technical details.

The app is written in Rails, with a Hotwire frontend, a Postgres database. It runs on a DigitalOcean VPS (referral link) and is deployed with Kamal.
