Hi everyone! I've been on ProductHunt since 2016 (it's been 8 years๐Ÿ˜ฌ!) But mostly stayed in the shadows as a silent observer. Seems like now it's finally the time to step into the spotlight! ๐Ÿ˜… In just a few days, my team and I are launching Macula, a full-blown content management suite built for creatives (professionals and enthusiasts) โ€“ essentially, anyone who shares their creative work online and values what they do. Macula is the result (though not exactly polished yet) of several years of rigorous experiments, our prior experience building tools for creatives, and, last but not least, personal struggles with content management. Whether it's managing tons of photos, juggling design assets, or keeping a portfolio of artworks up to date... It is designed to let you focus on what matters most: creating. It takes care of the rest, including organization, maintenance, tracking performance, and protecting your rights. The last is particularly important, as we believe individual creators should be able to grow their audience without compromising their rights and set their terms for the content they share. ๐Ÿ”—ยฉ๏ธ Please feel free to check out Macula and tell me what you think >> https://www.producthunt.com/products/macula Your honest feedback would be the best reward and support. P.S. I'm both nervous and excited about this launch. The "what ifs" are swirling, but here we go! Wish me luck :)

Good luck! It looks like an interesting project. Many creators are concerned about AI models being trained on their content. Have you considered a way to protect them from this?
Elena Tairova
@zer0tokens thanks for this question! Right on point :D That's exactly the key point behind Macula, a.k.a. one of its superpowers: it takes care of filling in all the copyright-related metadata for your assets. Whenever you publish or share them, Macula ensures it's preserved. This means all the content you share with Macula has clear copyright information that can be seen by humans and AI algorithms alike. Given the recent regulations in the EU and the States about the use of copyrighted art, this feature is exactly what you need to protect yourself and your work.

@zer0tokens P.S. Also quite useful for AI tools to prevent themselves from getting caught in a legal mess due to copyright infringement.

I am launching a product at the end of April, after having spent a year developing it and a year conducting private testing. I am both anxious and excited. I wish you success with your product as well :)
Elena Tairova
@dongpil_lim thanks Phillip, and best of luck to you too! The more time you invested in the product the tougher it is on the nerves - there's a direct correlation :D
