Unfortunately, this has been abandoned :( Since more than a year, uploading an image or signing up just leads to a server error. Was really amazing when it worked. The creator hasn't been active on Twitter, GitHub, LinkedIn, HN, etc. either.



Oh no. I never understood why the upload didn't work but had no idea it was abandoned. That really sucks.

For a while now I've been using it a few times a week to find reference images for drawing. I find it beats Pinterest in terms of speed and relevance for most of my searches.

I really really don't want it to go down.

I just browsed the creator's inactive social media pages. I wonder if they've passed away..?


I've done as best of a search as I could and can't find anything which indicates they've passed — but they have been inactive for a few years now.

Maybe someone at Tabnine knows...


Either that, or got hired by top-secret image-processing government/private agencies requiring complete silence.


his instagram is private. maybe there? i hope he's ok.


Yeah. It was a very promising tool. Creator is unresponsive.


Maybe he passed away?


No way he passed away. Running a service like this costs quite a bit of money to host all these images and pay for all their bandwidth. He's still probably shelling out $200+/month on this.

* Just saw that they are served by Cloudfront. Probably not that expensive, but still.


Still works though (mostly) and still a pretty cool service.
