also probably not a typical use case for names, but I do have FB friends that go by their middle names although their facebook profile has their full name.. can't search for them using middle name in autocomplete search

I forgot to say, awesome work and I like the visual look and feel and it does feel snappier than the real FB but still don't see why I should use it... maybe I don't "get" it?
My guess is the target demographic is younger women or just women in general. Not to sound sexist but in my experience women browse Facebook photos in a much higher degree than males.

#14Too bad I do not have a FB account, but the screenshots look awesome. The stream page is kinda taking away from it, imo. I would focus 100% on photos.
You have done a great job with the rest, navigation, and image browsing. There were a few glitches, the user info box and posts in the feed with images in them could use some finish.
All in all, great job and I think I understand where you're going with this!

#17Is it not a one-to-one relationship between Portrit and FB account?
The UI for 'likes' is confusing. The icon seemed very foreign, and the whole idea of putting profile pictures of people who have liked the post on the right isn't intuitive either.

#19Is there any purpose in having a sign-up? If you're already linked to the user's Facebook account, isn't this enough? Is it not a one-to-one relationship between Portrit and FB account? The UI for 'likes' is confusing. The icon seemed very foreign, and the whole idea of putting profile pictures of people who have liked the post on the right isn't intuitive either.
I agree that the like icon could use some work. The idea behind showing profile pictures of likes instead of names is one of the main ideas of Portrit. We are trying to limit the amount of text and promote discovery that may not have happened if the name was shown. We will look into making this action more intuitive.
Thanks for the feedback.
