Would love to get some feedback on whether you'd use this service, or any ideas around it!

Interested in learning more about this project but the "I Want In" button doesn't work for me. The button leads me a to "Page Not Found" page.

Here's the link I was directed to: http://www.strikingly.com/site65053-1375937917#3

Is $7.99/month feasible? I would guess there are slim margins here, servers/bandwidth, colour printing, shipping, etc. I guess most of this can/should be outsourced to existing companies, you could just glue the pieces together.

I like the idea, but not a fan of a stranger going through my facebook photos each month to make recommendations.

Nice idea, though I'd probably just end up with a book of what everyone's had for lunch last month.

Can I select a group of "close friends" or "don't do duck face" rather that tagging?

I thought that the service was to just give me a monthly email digest of the best photos on Facebook so I don't have to go to the website. That I like in and of itself.

This I like too, I wouldn't personally be a subscriber, but I can see people who are very active on FB/Instagram really liking it.

Who are you? You want me to give you money but you won't reveal your names or photos of yourselves?

"Who the hell are you to ask for money like this?" was my immediate reaction. No about page, no contact page. Nothing. So you've never done sales, and this is your first lesson. Being on the internet does not mean you can ask people for money without proving yourself to be legitimate.

And I see this 7/10 times on HN projects. The excuse is always the same: "Oh we forgot we just put the site up". The about page is the FIRST thing that should go up.

>You can also tag photos on the fly with #SnapPic so they make the print for that month.

Did you even read the website?
