Replace dumb photo folders with a relational visual database. PictaBase is built for deadline-driven teams (film, real estate, agencies) who need strict metadata search without vendor lock-in. Your data writes to portable .meta.json sidecars directly in S3. The stack: React 19, PHP 8.4, and direct-to-S3 uploads. For this 24-hour launch sprint, our goal is to battle-test the architecture under real load. Please stress test the foundation and report any bugs via our website's support system!
