What an Event is
The Event is the only one of the four that faces outwards. A Dump is yours; an Event belongs to an occasion — it has a date, a place, and a page you can print onto a QR code and stand on a table. It's for anyone organising something for other people: your birthday, the street dinner, your sister's wedding. And it's the very same buttons for the people who do it for a living.
It's a page for one specific occasion, with its date and its place: whoever was there scans the QR code and their photos land right there, with nothing to install.
When you're organising something and want everyone's photos in one place.
It isn't a bigger Dump: it's the public page of the occasion, and it can gather photos from several Dumps at once.
How to use it
- 1Set a date and a place
Those two things are what make an Event an event — as true for a trade fair as for a dinner in the garden. The place also helps people find it: a public Event shows up on the page of the venue where it happened.
- 2Print the QR code
There's a poster ready to go, for the door or the tables. Whoever scans it uploads their photos with no sign-up and nothing to install.
- 3Watch the photos come in
You can look them over before they go public, and you can attach Dumps you already had: their photos join the Event straight away, with nothing to re-upload.
Questions
Do guests need an account?
No, and that's the whole point. They scan the QR code, pick photos from their camera roll, done. No app to download, no sign-up, no email asked of someone who just wanted to send you three pictures.
How is it different from a shared Dump?
A shared Dump is an album you opened up to other people. An Event is the page of the occasion: it has a date and a place, it can gather photos from several Dumps at once, and it introduces itself to people who may not know you. If you're organising something for others, that's the one you want.
Can I control what stays visible?
Yes. Guest photos pass through you before they appear, and you can pause contributions whenever you like without deleting the link — latecomers get a page that explains, not an error.
What about the other three?
They're four different things that only look alike by name. Here are the other three, one line each.
