Show HN: WorkPhotos – A simplified approach to job recording for physical trades
11 comments
This is good - I just signed up and tried it out. I liked that I could take a picture and draw on the picture to highlight something to the team! It's like loom but for physical work environments like workshops!
Thanks! We are getting this feedback a lot, especially when there are multiple staff members involved in the job :)
Good stuff. So do I understand it right, that I'd create a job and I can store any photos related to that job in one place? If so, how many jobs can I create?
Thanks! All photos are offloaded straight to the cloud and jobs are organised in similar way as on any messaging app, so environment should be very familiar to new users.
No restrictions on number of jobs/photos, however in the future we might need to introduce fair use data policy for bigger accounts.

Hello, yes photos are saved to individual jobs and jobs are saved to a workspaces. Photo storage is unlimited and you can create as many workspaces as required. We have tried to make a solution that can complement your existing way of work.
My family business in Scotland is in the construction sector. I will pass this on to them.
Fantastic, thank you!
We are based in Edinburgh and we travel frequently through Central belt. We are more than happy to make a site visit and help with setup etc! :)

How do I share photos with the customer? Do they need an account?
From main screen click on any job and at the bottom of the screen you should see 3 icons: share, camera and a pin
Share button allows you to preview job reports and share them with the customer. You can share a link through any app, or use 'in private' to send it by sms.
Your customer does not need an account and they will get read-only access.

The idea for our app was born in a 103-year-old engineering workshop during one of those famous WTF moments. Believe it or not, Ross's grandad used to fix cart wheels, though, unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of that era.
After a considerable period of development, numerous iterations, and valuable user testing, we launched an early build in January this year. Since then, we've been hard at work, making further improvements and engaging with our users. We are thrilled to announce that we are now preparing for the official launch next week.
At WorkPhotos, we believe in simplicity as the cornerstone of our design philosophy. Our long-term vision revolves around integrating with other products rather than adding complexity directly to the app.
You can easily find our app on the local Apple and Play stores; just search for "WorkPhotos." We are currently available in several locations: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the US.
To access the app, users can log in using their phone number or email. Concerned about onboarding emails? Simply add the prefix 'HN' to your username or workspace, and we will ensure you don't receive any marketing communications. Deactivating your account will instantly delete your data.
While our existing users have provided positive feedback, we genuinely value the perspective of the Tech community. We invite you to try out the WorkPhotos app and share your feedback with us! Your input will be immensely helpful as we strive to improve our app further.
We are here to answer any questions and we look forward to hearing from you!
