I built a film camera app for my girlfriend launching soon

Hey

I'm Boran, solo indie dev. I built an iPhone app called NiCam and I'm launching on Product Hunt in the next couple weeks.

The short story: my girlfriend kept saying she wanted one of those old digital cameras with the tiny screen on the back. I didn't really get it. Then on her birthday, her best friend showed up with a scratched iPhone 6 she'd dug out of a drawer. The whole night people kept passing it around taking photos with it. Bad sensor, slow shutter, weird colors. And every single person at that table was losing it over the pictures.

I went home thinking about that for weeks.

Which film stock should I add to NiCam next?

I'm building NiCam - a vintage film camera app for iPhone. Currently shipping with 12 film stocks (Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, CineStill 800T, Tri-X, Ektar 100, a few more).

I want the next drop to come from this community. If you've ever shot film, which stock do you miss most? Or which one do you think would look best baked into an iPhone capture?

A few I'm considering:

  • Fuji Velvia 50 (super saturated, landscape king)

  • Ilford HP5+ (classic black & white grain)

  • Lomography Color 800 (heavy red shift, party vibe)

  • Kodak Gold 200 (warm everyday film)

  • AGFA Vista (cheap drugstore film, very nostalgic)

NiCam - Shoot today, feel like 1998

NiCam turns your iPhone into a vintage film camera without the slider hell. Pick a film stock (Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, CineStill 800T...), point, shoot. The look is baked in: real grain, accurate halation, proper color science per stock, optional date stamp. No presets. No 14 sliders. Just shoot like it's 1998. Built with Metal shaders not LUTs. Made by one indie dev.
