Description
The front camera apps always show the mirror preview. Most of us hate photos others take of us, but love our selfies. It's because we groom ourselves and find our perfect angles using the mirror preview. So it's jarring when we see the photos of us taken by others. I always wanted a camera app that showed the non-mirror preview. Surprisingly most camera apps don't have this option. So I created this app to scratch my own itch:)Note: Photos and videos are only stored in the browser. No data is sent to any servers. You can also install this as an app from your browser since it's a progressive web app.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a straightforward camera app that flips or disables the default horizontal mirror preview on the front-facing camera, which can be implemented in a few dozen lines of native code or React Native.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Fintech yet.
