We strive to differentiate ourselves by keeping it unconventional. We are not trying to be a high-tech lab nor a fancy studio. We run a casual service "bar", harvest raw ideas and brew them into premium designs. Originality is what we strive for.
Purely and utterly pointless; flies in the face of reason; distorts the essential purpose of technology--it's absolutely brilliant. Big upvote.

@rueter that's exactly how i felt too. maybe i should build an app that sends email after 3 days. or a trans-national uber-like service that takes 3 weeks to get you from new york to california.

@rueter I agree with the "distorts the essential purpose of technology." I believe technology should be a mean and not an end, and it can be used to solve actual issues. This right here is a fun side project, but I don't see more.
People are using analog cameras more and more these days, and there's a reason for it, besides hype.
So... does this thing print and send you the photos? Or just show you the "developed" photos in the app?
Because I'm super down for getting mailed a "roll" of photos printed out and be surprised by them, but I think I want the physical photos!
So I've been using this app obsessively, as in: I don't really use the iPhone's camera app any more.
At the core of it, the idea may seem silly: Take a bunch of photos (24 to be exact), have them pretend to be developed, then see them three days later masked by a bunch of fake light-leaks and film-grain. But in actuality, I find that having a limited amount of photos I can take in a "roll" makes me more selective about the moments I intend to capture, and waiting multiple days to see them means I don't spend time in my Photos app checking to make sure the framing is just right or any of the myriad nitpicks I would normally use as an excuse to go back and take the photos again. I just snap and move on.
I understand that Gudak isn't for everyone, but it definitely is for ME, and that's cool.
Thanks @brendonbigley for referring me to this! Am waiting for my photos to be developed. ๐
In the meantime, here are a few examples (from Brendon's camera roll)

I'm a big fan of Gudak. Taking a step back to emulate our more complicated days of analog has been excitingly refreshing.
