Yes, that is the biggest feature people have asked for. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it.
Quick question. Would it be ok if you clicked a link and then it emailed you a bit later when the download was ready?

#14This is something I was missing since Facebook bought Drop.io.

#15The interface is better - but otherwise, how is this superior to imgur (http://www.imgur.com)? Imgur has obviously already scaled.

#16Simple, useful, great UI and best of all no account required. Awesome job. Only question is regarding the switch between view-only and collaborative. When I choose to allow friends to contribute to the album, the provided link doesn't change. I assume you have a view-only link and an edit link that is passed a var to allow people to modify it. How does this work in your application?
Yes, right now the "view-only" link becomes a collaborative album through a boolean set in the database. I'd be happy to create a separate url if you think that would make it more obvious.
Just thinking out loud but if I went on a hiking trip with a couple of friends and we all wanted to show off an album of pictures to other, it makes sense I would give a view-only link to people who wanted to view the album and an edit link to those who came on the trip to contribute photos.
It could be something as simple as selecting "Yes" generates an edit var with the associated link. If someone pastes the edit URL into their browser and the edit var = the album id, allow edit. Else force view only.
Edit* This is just an opinion and what logically makes sense to me. Would love to hear what others think.

#17Looks great. I'd love a way to view full resolution images without having to download it.

#18This looks great! I love that there is no account required.
However, since I can use it without an account, why would I register? You may want to add some motivational copy to the registration page to tell me.
Also, these two statements from the "Free" section don't seem to match: * Original, full-size photos are stored for one month. * Full-sized photos can be downloaded for $0.99/album after one month.
Maybe the second one should be "for up to one month"?

imgur is more about sharing a single photo or creating a meme. This is more about creating and sharing an album of photos. The features of SimpleNeat include things like reordering photos, custom urls for albums, easy downloading, and, eventually, easy printing or creating mugs or t-shirts.

Good to know. That wouldn't be too hard to add.
Out of curiosity why do you want to view the full-resolution photos vs. the ones that are scaled to fit your screen?
