Our Story — And Our Vision
Learn More About Dayflash — And How We Got Started
Today’s mainstream photo sharing platforms have been unfairly using Home feed algorithms to control who gets to see a user’s posts, and as a result, these platforms have been taking away visibility and opportunity from creators everywhere.
On the other hand, Dayflash is an up and coming social photo and video sharing platform that’s been in the making with feedback from thousands of creators since 2018 — and unlike other photo sharing platforms, the team and I at Dayflash are on a mission to help create more opportunities for creators — and a bigger and brighter future for creators everywhere.
Dayflash believes in:
•Putting users first over anything else.
• No home feed algorithm (chronological feed always!)
• No forcing creators to pay money to be seen.
Why do thousands of users love Dayflash?
Many users say they prefer Dayflash over other apps when it comes to their images because they love how Dayflash makes their photos look.
Dayflash is the fastest & most immersive photo & video sharing experience on mobile. We’ve invented a unique full-screen image display format that makes people’s photos look more immersive and beautiful than ever before on a mobile photo sharing app.
Photos on Dayflash are rendered in HD quality (1080p). And users especially like that each image is displayed in an all-glass style — no matter what size image they share.
But more importantly, our users especially value that we put our users first, and we don’t believe in Home feed algorithms and making creators pay money to promote their posts in order to get seen.
Since you always get to see posts from the people you follow on Dayflash’s chronological feed, users tend to follow only the people they truly want to connect with, which can make the experience on Dayflash richer, more authentic and more engaging. 🤗
How is Dayflash changing the game for creators?
Let’s face it! Finding people to collaborate with is hard. Not only is Instagram’s algorithm making it difficult to keep track of who you follow, but many people say when they come across a cool account on Instagram, it’s like a guessing game. They don’t know what types of collabs that person would be interested in, if any. And then it takes time to write them a cold personalized DM, which oftentimes doesn’t get answered — or let alone seen. Plus, if you send too many DMs or comments on Instagram, Instagram blocks you from sending more. So, because it’s hard to find people to collaborate with on today’s apps, many creators haven’t been collaborating with as many people as they can, which has been limiting opportunities for creators everywhere.
This is why Dayflash is making it easier than ever before to find the right people for your next collab — or simply to connect with new people.
To use the collab tools on Dayflash, all you have to do is post one or more Collab Requests to your profile page (a collab request describes a collab you’d be interested in). After that, the magic happens…. Users who visit your profile can view your images and tap the ❤️ button on each of your requests that they’re interested in. You can then view the list of users who liked your Collab Request — and message anyone who’s a good fit.
This new experience is literally an ice breaker and it helps connect people who don’t even know each other.
For instance, while stuck at home, Dayflash user @caroll.bs formed FaceTime photoshoots with a few portrait photographers from different cities — who she met for the first time through Dayflash’s collab request feature. Be sure to check out our blog to see some of the awesome collaborations that Dayflash users have been forming with new people they met for the first time via the collaboration tools on Dayflash.
And by the way, there are no hashtags on Dayflash, which means all you have to do is add profile tags and location tags to your account once, and then you’re all set to be discovered as you engage.
Plus, you can use search filters to find people by collab request, profile tag and location tag, which makes it way easier to find the right people for your next collab.
Dayflash’s Collab Tools Are Bridging The Gap Between Different Types of Creators — Such as Models And Photographers
By connecting people in a way that has never been done before, the collab tools on Dayflash are designed to empower people to more easily find new people to collaborate with on a regular basis, which can enable creators to reach new audiences more easily and often through each other — along with more frequently create new styles of content that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to create on their own.
And, more importantly, it’s the images that people share on Dayflash each day that make it so much easier to discover new people, build community and form new collabs.
Dayflash is not just another photo and video sharing app. It’s a community. And with collab tools on Dayflash, we’re making it easier than ever before to find the right people for your next collab — or simply to connect with new people who share your passion. And, while practicing social distancing, people from all over the world have been using Dayflash’s collab tools to more easily form new online collabs — and new friendships — with many different types of people from around the world.
Our Vision Is To Create More Opportunities For Creators Everywhere — Which Means That When Dayflash Wins, Creators Win!
Similar to what YouTube and Twitch have been doing for video creators and game streamers respectively, Dayflash plans to launch a new Partner Program in the future that will enable photo and short-video creators to monetize their content through memberships and ad revenue. We’ve been working hard to deliver new monetization capabilities to creators and enthusiasts that can better empower their passion!
