Show HN: myStorify.com - storify your photos

couple of things:

1 - Can you 'storify' all albums by defaults

2 - Can you change the sort order of the albums to Newest to Oldest

3 - What about videos - can i add youtube embed to a story ?

4 - Custom domains would be good

5 - Custom story/album url / slug would be good

1) Although the storification is largely automated, it still requires some user input (event names) so we thought that it would't make much sense to pre-storify everything.

We are adding some graphics to distinguish between storified and non-storified albums in the user view.

Also the question is how to display the contents of an album if it hasn't been storified yet?

2) Yep, the albums should be sorted newest - oldest, the sorting is just buggy at the moment.

3) We were thinking about adding other media as custom nodes in the graph (and a corresponding representation in the main content pane) maybe on the same logical level as the current events or one level bellow visualized with a dot on the dashed line.

The thing with video is that normally you have a bunch of short clips from the vacation and if you don't feel like starting a cutting software or using Animoto, you would need a bunch of embeds, not just one in our opinion. So we should treat video the exact same way we treat photos - many short snapshots put together to create a story.

4) Do you mean subdomains like justin.mystorify.com? Yeah definitely on the ToDo ;-)

5) Once we have the subdomains this is plausible (because we don't have the user in the album url now to make it shorter - therefor it has to be unique).

I noticed some components were displaying the weather - is that current conditions, or are you showing what the weather was at the time the photo was taken (which would be more interesting).

Two things:

1. I feel like collaborative album creation is one of the most compelling features you offer yet it is premium only. Would all collaborators need premium accounts or just the one setting up the shared album? Regardless, this is a very important feature which allows people that go on a life-changing trip together to share their collective memories. I want to be able to see the great photos my friend took in Venice after my iPhone died. I was there when he took them so they are as much a part of my memory as they are his and this means they deserve to be part of "our storify"

I think collaboration could be the key feature of the entire site.

2. Beaten to death already but you must change the name. You cannot just add two letters in front of a popular site name and claim it as your own. Also, I don't feel "mystorify" tells me much about what your site does. You can do better or find someone else to help.

These two (rather important) issues aside I really like the idea and am excited to see where it goes.
