I’m excited to announce the launch of my latest project: Digital Passport Photo Online, a simple and convenient way to create digital passport photos from the comfort of your own home – and it’s totally free!
No more trips to the photo booth or pharmacy – just upload your photo, and the website will automatically crop, resize, and format it to meet official passport photo requirements for various countries.
This project was a fun experiment where I got to play with some cool technologies:
- SQLite on production with LiteStack: Yes, you read that right! I used SQLite for the database, powered by LiteStack for easy management.
- Hotwire Stream: I leveraged Hotwire’s Stream feature for real-time updates and a smooth user experience.
- Kamal 2 for deployment: I deployed the entire app to a bare VPS using Kamal 2, a fantastic deployment tool that made the process a breeze. (More on my Kamal 2 experience in a future blog post!)
The overall experience with these three tools was fantastic, and I highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking for efficient and developer-friendly solutions.
Give DigitalPassportPhoto.online a try and let me know what you think!
