Flashback feature

galori

Is there a "Flashback"-like service or feature, like the one that was offered by Everpix before it was shut down?

This was a neat feature that would email you every week or every day a random picture that you took that day 1 year ago. Its obviously more targetted to personal photo libraries - letting people have moments like "wow - I can't believe I was doing that / looking like that/ hanging out with so & so 1 year ago"...etc.

This was a feature that was part of the offering of Everpix, which was a new photo storage startup that is now going out of business. thought it would be a great feature to have for a smugmug user/account.

If it doesn't exist, I might build it myself (I'm a developer) - but wanted to check first.

Also - in which other forum category would it be appropriate to post this question? (or if I were to build it, which other forum would it be appropriate to tell everyone about it?)

That's a cool idea, I don't think I've seen anybody do that for SmugMug. You can fetch photos taken on a specific day on New SmugMug as JSON using the rpc.gallery.getdate endpoint. For example:

http://www.smugmug.com/services/api/json/1.4.0/?galleryType=date&date=2013-11-27%2C2013-11-28%2CDateUploaded&nickName=n-sherlock&PageNumber=0&returnModelList=true&PageSize=12&imageSizes=X2%2CX3%2CM%2CL%2CXL&method=rpc.gallery.getdate
