Coaster - Unsplash search on Mac(heycoaster.com)
over 5 years ago from Gaddafi Rusli, Designer and developer
Gaddafi Rusli, over 5 years ago Thank you! Coaster is actually using Unsplash official API. No scraping, no aggregating. There's a review process by Unsplash to obtain production API limit, and Coaster has been approved (hence the launch).

Cool, glad to hear it (and congrats on it being approved by them!) :)
Gaddafi Rusli, over 5 years ago Thank you!
I can't see any benefit for using this I'm afraid (Even after reading your comment). However I do agree that it's a very slick looking app you've built.
I wonder though, does creating an aggregating service like this conflict with their terms of service? Specifically "this license does not include the right to compile photos from Unsplash to replicate a similar or competing service." ... By charging for your app you might be stepping on toes, as you're effectively offering a competing service for the same content. I'm no lawyer though.
