Interesting but raising my eyebrowns a bit because sounds a bit too black and white. Do you have time to explain more or do you have some data to back up such a claim?
Fair point. But for people who are doing these: please put the same instructions what is needed for the password when logging in the later time through normal login process. It might help to remember the password better (at least would help one person on this planet, me).
(edit: fixed typos, not a native english speaker here)
Yes, but it needs an app to post the photos. And it has slightly different usecases that I'm after. (Pixomize is more like: "everyone who wants to share photos, just post them to this email address so we can all download them").
More than happy to answer. I am planning to write a blog post about technical parts soon.
The traffic was not that big for this kind of sites. Yesterday there seemed to be around 2.5K visitors from HN and each having average 2.1 page views per session.
The resizing service is implemented from scratch. It's very simple (resize and cache) and does not have the possibility to define point of interest (yet - I would like to do some experiences with that too).
I'm currently writing a technical blog post about Pixomize.
Thanks for the heads up for the typo. Will be fixed in the next push. Will rephrase the second instruction after also.
Currently the album owner gets teaser emails that the album is about to expire. Owner cannot buy "more online time" yet but that is on my road map. I will not need that feature before some weeks when the first albums start expiring :)
Good point about an option for the owner to send email. I will think about it. There is already a automatic notify that is sent to everyone who posted to the expiring album saying "the album is expired now, but you can still download all the photos as a zip file from this link".
How I see it, these two services are for pretty different use cases. Basic idea behind Pixomize is to have a common album with your friends or other people and you fill the album together.
True. But as I see it, if people want to share something explicit they are more than welcome to do so. Right? Or did I understood something differently than you meant?
The owner of the album has the right to delete any photos of an album if they find some "too explicit" for their taste.
A) don't want to be everybody's fb friends/g+/etc who were in a friend's birthday party, but still wants to share the photos she took at the party
B) easy for anybody to share an album and other to participate - usually after such a birthday as mentioned above, one person's photos are in fb, other one's in G+, third's in dropbox... in other words, people who wants to share together.
So basically everyone who has a need to share photos but they don't have a common service to do so.
Nice idea. Not sure yet if it's a killer feature, but as you said, would be definitely cool.
So how could I get started? I can sure tag the photos but how could I get the "auto-tagging" working? Album name is not enough, so you must be thinking of something I have no idea nor knowledge of yet :)
While some are solving important and complex problems, I created yet another photo sharing service :) And no sexy features included.
The basic idea is to try to be as simple as possible without needing to create an account nor needing to download any special client. A simple way to gather photos from an event.
This is mostly a project to try, to test, to research and to learn new stuff.
When I hopefully will be 70 one day, I wonder if i would actually like to see such photos of me. I think I might. "Once I was young, and I looked so awesome. Oh, those were the days..."
