Capturing multiple images from a webcam is a common need in modern web apps, especially Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Existing solutions are often: - Single-shot only (cannot capture multiple images) - Bloated or heavy - Hard to customize UI or styling - Not fully compatible with PWAs or mobile browsers Problem with on mobile: When you use a file input like: on phones, it only allows a single photo capture . After you take one photo, the camera closes, and to capture another, the user must reopen the camera again. This creates a poor user experience for apps needing multi-photo sessions (for example: KYC verification, delivery apps, or documentation workflows). --- Our Solution react-web-camera provides a headless, platform-independent React component that gives you full control over your UI. It handles the complex logic of accessing the webcam, capturing multiple images, and managing state, while you focus on styling and user experience. This makes it: - Lightweight – minimal overhead for fast, responsive apps ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/shivantra","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/shivantra/react-web-camera/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
