Hey everyone! This is not just another free stock photo site. This is an aggregation and search engine of several free stock photo websites :)

I built it because I'm a big fan of stock photo sites like Unsplash, but am always bummed that they don't have search. Instead you have to browse through all their photos.

Stock Up fixes that by making Unsplash (and others) completely searchable :).

I launched this about two weeks ago. I built it with Kimono (which crawls the stock photo websites), Paperclip/Open URI (to download thumbnail of every photo), oDesk and me (for tagging each photo) and Algolia (for the instant search).

It is a good site, you have a lot of competition. At least a dozen of these on Show: HN in the last 1 year.

Just an FYI, the search term: "stock photo websites in one place" has over 7000 results.

Which is the tag line here. I personally have about 10 of these bookmarked, and they are all exactly the same, short of different frameworks etc.

10 of these bookmarked? I'd be surprised to see that there are 10 sites doing this already. I know of one other- but they do not get permission from the stock photo websites (which I do).
