No mass-produced item is exactly identically manufactured. Phone camera devices will be very subtly different. Apparently, it affects the image slightly, to the point you can “fingerprint” an individual camera just from the image data alone.
Have you ever wondered why Mr.Robot character Darlene used old VHS camera setup for the demands videos? Digital camera fingerprinting (beyond metadata) is a real thing.
The client is basically just a webview with a photo upload function, but this could be a good idea nevertheless. Paper has priority, though. It's not obfuscated so feel free to decompile it ;)
Is there a link anywhere to your privacy policy? I notice the app page says not to upload private images such as photos of faces but what happens to the data I do send? Are the images saved? Is my cameras fingerprint saved? Do you collect identifiable information from my phone? etc.
Thank you for this. FWIW, if the page hadn't instantly redirected me to the Google Play store I would have been able to find this, I wasn't aware there was actually a website to browse! Interesting project though, I'll be sure to help out. :)

"Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 159,551 tested so far."
Can't highlight text. Keyboard navigation is busted due that as well.
Turning off Javascript results in a blank black page.
Basically a broken web site.
