Serendi.pt is a platform for finding candid photos of yourself taken by strangers at events or locations. Users can upload photos with metadata and get tipped when someone downloads their shot. The project is a revived 5-year-old self-coded site, now with some AI assistance, focusing on serendipitous photo discovery and privacy-conscious community moderation.

Target audience: general public, photographers, event attendees
