Great Idea! I could send photos this way to my parents. good job!
Glad you like it! And thank you very much. The "send photos to parents" is definitely a top use-case so far.
This would be so much better.
Product / Market fit for some of my friends (whom I sent it to) Basically, young parents with kids and [grand]parents who aren't going to join FB. Perfect fit.
Surely unrelated to Eytan Levit's idea,[1] but very funny that these arose on HN at the same time! (although clearly Eytan's post is now specifically about his idea) [1]seen at http://www.eytanlevit.com/post/34639708833/operation-hogwart...
Good job. Nice clean design on the site & email. I made something in a similar vein a while back, although it wasn't linked to any social network: http://www.sendasaurus.com if you're curious. Basically you manually upload the photos and then it automatically sends them one at a time, once a day. I think you're right to focus on the simplicity and mind-free aspect of the service. It might be worth reflecting this in…
EDIT: Sendsaurus is cool.
Love the idea. Great to share with non-techy families!

couldn't you just email them the photos and bypass another process altogether? We're just coming full circle. email photos to friends, facebook post, now back to email photos to friends because facebook's not adding any value.
The next major iteration of PicDigest will bypass both posting to social networks AND the step of sending photos by email. It'll change the world!!! [insert evil laugh]

This is a great use case. My sister-in-law gave her mom her Facebook account login so she can see pictures of the grandkids without having to sign up for a Facebook account. This would be so much better.

Haha! Coincidence?!
I love the idea though. I'd love for there to be a way to enjoy the ease of sharing that social network services provide without the horrible privacy problems. And I'm convinced that email has been the solution all along. Social networking websites wouldn't even exist if the email UI paradigm had evolved with user needs instead of stagnating around subject lines, rich text and so on. One day Google+ and GMail will be the same thing, I swear.

Are you at all concerned about possible aggressive future ToS changes? Seems like this project provides a way for people to enjoy one of the benefits of these social network services without paying the "price" of creating an account full of juicy demographic data that contributes to their advertising value proposition. I love the idea though. I'd love for there to be a way to enjoy the ease of sharing that social net…
The next major iteration of PicDigest will bypass the traditional social layer altogether, giving you a way to connect your loved ones directly to a forthcoming super-awesome camera app. Fully private (or as private as email can be).
Great question!

This is quite off topic, but related to "Facebook Photos". There used to be an option in my sidebar on Facebook called "photos", clicking it would show all the photos my friends had uploaded. It was the news feed but for photos! However 2 days ago it disappeared, this is my sidebar now: http://i.imgur.com/Vvte9.png The only option I have now is "photos", which is my own photos. Did Facebook kill the photo feed for ev…
