what is the diff betweeen this and pixabay or pexels.com? which there was one meta-search engine to cover them all :)
Even if there is no "diff", this is an extra backup. Any of those sites can go down I guess, then where are all those pictures?

#22Hi - for some reason the search bar keeps changing my search terms eg Australia --> Australium
Sorry — that'll be the search trying to get a singular term from a plural. I've tagged the images with singular terms to make them easier to search, so it will change terms like "bridges" to "bridge", or "men" to "man", unless I override each term. If anyone can suggest a better way, I'd be very grateful. I'll add "Australia" as an override, for now. Thanks for pointing it out.
stemming will be baked in to a search engine, for example elasticsearch or solr dependent on the language analyzer you use and how you map your fields.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Probably performed dominant colour analysis on each (like color-thief), sort by similar ranked colours using a closeness transformation like LAB? No idea for the feature though.
Is there an algorithm for what you just described? I'm currently researching for color classification and it seems quite a complicated issue.
Hi, If you want you can contact me. I created a powerful algorithm to detect dominant colors in an image using K-means clustering and lab color space.

Have a good day!

I'm currently trying to do this for my own side project, my current plan was analyse each photo using one of the many color analyser algos out there (color-thief seems to be popular/efficient), but the problem is, color is a very complicated thing to compare. I think euclidean distance for two LaB colors is the best for complexity to result ratio (and RBG to LaB is an easy/well-solved problem).
I've come across this:

Seems very good but I'm still researching. Hope it might help you.

something like: http://freecode.com/projects/mactorii should work

#26I always use https://pexels.com . They also have only CC0 images.
Strange, I was curious what kind of images are there, did a search for "Taiwan", and the result is literally 8 pictures with "Shutterstock" watermark and that's all. Is that supposed to be CC0? Even if it was yes, would that be useful at all to have watermarked images like that?

Just tried the same thing. It looks like the Shutterstock watermarked photos were an advert sponsored by Shutterstock themselves. No actual CC0 photos for the site itself.

#28When of the about pages says that the photos are on a GitHub repo, which sounds really cool, until you follow the link and the repo hasn't been shared yet. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before it is shared.

#29I ran into a Laravel error on the homepage due to the server running out of memory.

#30It seems that you do have a valid SSL certificate but https://finda.photo/search?q=test is not working properly.
