About
Serendipity is a platform for finding candid photos of yourself that strangers accidentally took, for example when someone else's tourist photo happens to catch you in the background. Users upload photos tagged with location, event, and time so others can search and download shots of themselves and optionally tip the uploader, and the site includes a report and moderation dashboard to remove sensitive content while collecting only users' email addresses.
At a glance

Consider something else when
