The Ugly Duckling
The app started off as a plain video capture window and a button to capture frames. It worked well, but didn't provide a very exciting user experience.
A Splash of Color
The first step was to add a little bit of CSS styling and custom web fonts for a look that was more fun. Sass was used to keep the stylesheets tidy and DRY.
Photo Filters, Shutter & Flash
Finally, I added a few bonus features using JavaScript. There's a flash effect and shutter sound triggered by the button click, and filters to make your photos more interesting. It isn't an Instagram killer, but it has certainly come a long way from where it started.
