Create a Panoramax plugin
looking for funding

Many Qfield projects use photos as field evidence.
However, these photos could be very useful for other projects.
The Panoramax open field photo sharing platform seems like the ideal place to share these photos.
Especially since the Panoramax plugin is now available in Qgis: the photos can therefore be used directly.
Several ideas:
- a Qfield plugin to allow sharing
- directly add a checkbox “share the photos of this project on Panoramax” when creating a Qfield project
- mount a Panoramax instance to more easily navigate through all the photos already accessible in open QFieldCloud projects/send future photos sent by contributors

Love this idea! There is already the excellent qfield-snap plugin to create simple photo capture projects.
Do you think it could make sense to combine that with a feature in QFieldCloud to "Export captured photos to Panoramax"?
This way, any project that is configured to capture photos could have them exported to Panoramax.
There are two approaches I can think of:
- Export button via QFieldCloud (would need discussion on how to integrate this / coordination with QFC dev team).
- A external export pipeline (Python script) that can download the data for a QFieldCloud project, extract all the photos, and upload to Panoramax via the API.
As much as I would love (1), I actually think that (2) is the more realistic and simplest to implement. The script could be run via many methods: manually, cron, another API, workflow managers like Windmill, etc.

Hi, thank you for sharing your idea. This could be a great fit for plugin development. I recommend asking in the community (https://community.qfield.org/) to see if someone would be interested in developing such a plugin, or reaching out to our sales team (sales@qfied.cloud).
