EyeEm Engineering: New API Wrappers

eyeemdev:

Last weekend was Photo Hack Day, and boy was it fantastic. Around 130 developers and designers got together, and 26 hacks were demoed less than 24 hours later. Among those, many impressive apps and hardware hacks! You can read a full recap on the EyeEm Blog, or browse through the list of…
