I like the concept and hope the team keeps exploring more. I wonder whether we can get additional information about the image - time, location, people tagged in it etc

That's good to know.
Just to be clear, would you like that information at the dialog or would you like the app developer to be able to see it?

#33My biggest fear is I'll use it, and a few months later you're acquired by Facebook and then it's gone.

#34This is a good concept but needs a lot of work. 1. I don't want things opening in a new window on my site 2. I don't want someone else's branded module opening on my site 3. This is designed using bootstrap If you hired a real designer, made it a script that could open a modal on my site, and gave the option to pay some small fee to get rid of your branding and give it a few color theming options, I would be totally…
1. Good to know. It'd be interesting to know how the community feels about windows vs iframes. We felt like windows were more analogous to system dialogs, but iframes are easier for message passing 2. Would you pay for custom branding? 3. I defer to other articles re. bootstrap. We figured if we wanted to match the styling of other sites in the best possible way, bootstrap is a decent choice
This is a good business model you guys are aiming for. I think people would definitely pay for custom branding and you're solving a current pain point! Would have used this in a couple of projects I've been involved in.

#35Great concept. However, a small nitpick : When I click "Get a key" without entering any Email, I get an Internal Server Error at /thanks/. Probably you guys should handle edge cases?
Thanks and fixed!

#36This is an excellent idea and it looks nicely executed, too. I only fear there may be a duplication of efforts in respect to the upcoming WebIntents framework. Do you guys have plans to integrate with it at some point?

We would love to be a webintents provider and it's on the feature list.
Part of this is also an effort to spur the webintents forward :D

#38Looks neat! However, you won't catch me putting my credit card details into that donations form. You might want to put a paypal button or something that makes me feel a bit more secure about the whole thing.

Good to know that we aren't the only ones who feel this way.
Would love to chat about what you'd use if for, if you have the time.

Stop. Hire a designer.
