Show HN: Photo Picker+, New Library Improves Native Photo Picker (iOS+Android)

As an app developer, I'd love to not write custom code for each photo sharing service. This seems to require using the chute hosted platform, though. Can the library be used without the service?

On the site itself, you need some words for those "Supported services" icons. I know the first is Facebook; the second I think is Flickr; the third is Picasa; I have no clue what #4 is.

Agreed. Love the idea but having another external dependency is worrying. I'd rather something akin to OmniAuth

This looks very useful. Do you have a link to an app or apk where I could see it in action?

Adding an APK. Will update with a link in a few minute.

Couple questions: How are you making money off this (that is, will you be making money off my users)? Obviously you've put a lot of work into it, and it looks really great.

Also, can you select multiple images at once? Can you select video as well?
