Free & Sovereign Event Photo Galleries for Communities
Phoem is an open event album platform where meetups, hackathons, and conferences host full-resolution photo albums without dependence on centralized databases or proprietary cloud silos.
How Does It Work?
Set up your organization identity in four clear steps, publish your event album, and build a shared memory with your attendees.
Add Your Organisation
Establish an open Nostr identity for your community. Add your logo, description, and contact links.
Create Event Albums
Publish time-based event albums for your hackathons or conferences with dates, location, and cover art.
Upload in High Resolution
Upload organizer photos directly to decentralized Blossom media servers with intact EXIF metadata.
Crowdsource Attendee Photos
Attendees can visit the event album and contribute their own photos. Official and community submissions are cleanly partitioned.
Your Photos & Memories Truly Belong to You
Don't trap your community's photo memories inside proprietary corporate silos. Built on open protocols (Nostr & Blossom), your albums remain permanent, independent, and entirely under your cryptographic control.
Traditional Closed Platforms
Proprietary clouds & social networks
- Corporate Ownership Your photos are held hostage on private servers. Terms of service and fees change unilaterally.
- Shutdown & Deletion Risk If the company discontinues the service or suspends your account, all photos and albums are permanently lost.
- Zero Interoperability Moving your attendees and collections to another provider requires manual, lossy migration.
Phoem & Open Protocol
Nostr relays & Blossom media storage
- Cryptographic Key Ownership Your albums are signed by your own keypair. You retain cryptographic proof of ownership.
- Permanent & Censorship-Resistant Even if the Phoem website shuts down, all albums remain preserved and discoverable across independent relays.
- Universal Portability Read and display your galleries with any Nostr client or custom domain without vendor lock-in.
No passwords or database leaks. Secure one-click auth with Nostr signer extensions.
Lossless SHA-256 media storage preserves full camera metadata and pristine resolution.
Official and attendee submissions merge seamlessly into one permanent community record.
