    Seriously thanks for the great feedback. Should have asked this question on HN awhile ago. Looks like I've still got a bit of work to do, luckily it's fun "work".

    Thanks for the feedback. The first sign in is just to sign you into Snapfinch. From here you need to link your Instagram, PicPlz, etc. accounts to be able to comment and like the p…

    Sounds like a good idea. I was thinking of adding chat functionality similar to Facebook and Gmail with the bar at the bottom. Could be cool if you can chat to the people you follo…

    It does look like they will be updating the app to try and resolve these issues. Although, one of their planned "fixes" are to stop the app from working at all when no one is aroun…

    Yes, but it only took a day or two for me to get an invite to the Beta after signing up. And I think if you sign up and refer 2 people you get in immediately (although they might h…

    Sounds pretty cool. Are there any examples that you can share? I'm sure a lot of people would like to see a working demo/example before signing up.
