@immatthamlin Yes I did :) This "QR"-like code is actually private - but most of them have shared it on social medias. Also, it's not efficient if you browse the website on a smartphone. Let's see in the near future.
@ldesserrey@immatthamlin +1 to matt - I think having the snapchat QR- code for people to scan right there would increase the value you are already bringing
Thanks @rrhoover ✨
Hi everyone! I’m Laurent - @ldesserrey - and this is my latest experiment. It’s called Snapchatters™ - The missing “Explore” section of Snapchat.
When Snapchat launched the “Story” feature, some people went from creating Private to Public content. That's when I had the idea to humbly curate a website where I could share the one I liked.
I added some context to their usernames - their full names and personal websites, a GIF to see their faces and a short description.
If you want to submit a Snapchatter, email me at laurent.desserrey@gmail.com. I review every single one by watching their stories during one week minimum. Anyone who stands out from the crowd will be added to Snapchatters, simple as that.

@kkliman From snapchatters who recommend other snapchatters in their stories and from submissions on the website. I add them on my personal Snapchat account - @ldesserrey. I review every single one by watching their stories during one week minimum. Anyone who stands out from the crowd will be added to Snapchatters, simple as that.
I've been watching the rise of Snapchat celebrities, something that occurs in almost every popular UGC service like YouTube, Vine, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Snapchat currently provides no way to discover or browse for people to follow. Snapchatters is a good first attempt at surfacing personalities to follow and I really like the animated GIF presentation, (my homie @msg made list):
@ldesserrey why'd you build this?
Love this idea! We've actually been doing more brand campaigns with creators (we call it #CreatedWith). Others amazing Snappers to add:

This is fantastic, something I'd been thinking about for a while. I know that @garyvee is pretty big on Snapchat. Any thoughts on Snapchat going, "Hey, that's a great call" and just adding it to the app? @ldesserrey
Snapchat stories have sort of replaced TV as my late-night entertainment before bed since I recently cut the cord. Got a few more people to follow now. I almost exclusively use SC for consuming and broadcasting stories, rarely for actually chatting with friends/family. Nice curated list, @ldesserrey!
*cough* shameless self-promotion > my SC username is lylemck *cough*
Hi @lylemckeany! I agree with that - and I'd add that Snapchat is definitely the best medium to literally see what's going on somewhere. Better than anything else.

It would be awesome if when you hover over one of the Snapchat "celebrities", their Snapchat QR code appeared. That would make things super slick.
Great idea! You beat them to a true discover.
