A lightweight, responsive, mobile-friendly web app for analog photographers to work out the true cost per photo of shooting film — and to figure out which of their labs is actually cheapest for a given roll, once push/pull fees are factored in.
Live app: https://filmcalc.trentbauer.com
- Finding the cheapest lab for a roll
- Comparing film stocks and labs
- Building your library
- Personalizing FilmCalc
- Self-Hosting — Docker setup and seeding default profiles via
config.yaml - Wiki home — everything else
No git. No installing anything. Two clicks and a paste.
Click a button — the prompt is already written, and Claude reads the project's data rules for you:
| 🎞️ Add a FILM stock → | 🏪 Add a LAB → |
Paste your shop link, send, check the prices Claude gives you, then upload the file it produces
to films/ or
labs/.
