Has anyone used darkroom.tech for gallery/printing? Seems like it might be dead, with their “©2020” at the bottom of the site, and podcast stopped in 2019.

It looks good, but… Instagram account hasn’t posted since March 2022 as well.

@maique not directly, but I follow some youtubers that use it to sell and haven't heard any complains. Maybe it's just not being updated with more stuff lately.

@vincent Barebones. No FAQ, no pricing information, nothing at all.

@vincent This is turning into a much longer research than I expected.

@maique @vincent @pcora Could be an earlier version, or attempt at theft, of <darkroom.com>?

@pcora Thanks. I'm looking at Pixieset also. I like them.

@pcora I sent them a message, waiting for a reply. I remember they were used by some friends, back in the day, but can’t remember who they were 😅

@SimonWoods @vincent @maique yea. it does not inspire much confidence. I'd stay away. I know that smugmug can be used to sell, besides of course squarespace (in case you are loaded 💸)

@pcora SmugMug is also very expensive, at least on the tiers that allow you to sell your photos. I don't expect to make a ton (any?) money from this, so I believe they're also out. Looking at Pixieset now, I have used them on and off for other stuff, and their pricing seems to be good. They now also have a Store feature.

@Gaby I’ve used it with certain clients, easy to download photos from a site that looks cool, with no effort. But that was before this Store feature. I’ll try it.
