Press Pass

Booking and chemical inventory for community darkrooms.

Problem

Shared darkrooms run on a whiteboard, a group text, and a cabinet of mystery bottles. Sessions collide. Chemistry goes stale.

Audience

Community print labs and school darkrooms with 10-40 active printers.

Features

  • Enlarger and sink booking by the hour
  • Chemistry lots with mix dates
  • Session notes attached to a tank
  • Waitlist that texts only the next person

Constraints

Must be usable from a stained phone. No marketplace. Inventory is local, not social.

Success metric

A lab runs two weeks of bookings with zero double-booked enlargers.

        1. Inventory stays local. Good.
