kijiji? Really?

I wonder if people in regions where craigslist is unsuccessful have the inverse reaction...

The line between awkward promotion and acknowledging reality when mentioning orthogonal services is a tough one, and there are few universalities.

Couldn't you use an HTML file upload thinggie or at least one augmented with JavaScript? I just don't understand why flash is necessary in here.

The flash uploader provides a much better user experience: better designed controls (usually), multiple-file upload, upload progress.

But graceful degredation is always appreciated.

Put the www.tempimages.com/ outside the red box.

Make it so when I select images it says something so I know it is responsive. I kept on selecting the same image, then thinking... well it still says 0/50 maybe it didn't work. So now there are 3 of the same image.

Otherwise, I like it.

1) Where is the legal stuff that says what happens to embarrassing photos of grandma?

2) Asking users to select their own url may have some issues. What happens if two people go on a vacation to Hawaii? :-)

3) I would really like to password-protect my slideshow.

I had no idea. Where is kijiji big?

We all may know what a slideshow is and looks like, but how about a demo of what YOUR slideshow looks like? Does it make sense to describe your product using your product (have a slideshow that guides me to how to use it)? Also, for a site that deals with slideshows and images, I would expect more care to be put into the design. Your logo is very pixelated, you have a square color behind your buttons, etc. These may…

Yup, we'll make it all pretty and attractive soon...just wanted to get it working first.

Good points here. Programmers and Designers should be one in the same.

"Programmers and Designers should be one in the same." - nope...

I like the graphic that suggests using it for kijiji/craigslist. Obvious idea that most people miss. A couple of things: 1) Step 1 is cumbersome. Perhaps start with an autogenerated name or make this optional? 2) UI made me expect the image to start uploading as soon as I selected it. Whether it should or not is another question, but the "Current Progress" bar is confusing in this context. 3) Once they've uploaded th…

All very good points...and we're going to implement each one asap. Thanks, much appreciated.

No legal stuff yet...actually we're not sure how/what the legal stuff entails. If anyone can lend us a helping hand or just point us in the right direction we'd really appreciate it.

Privacy is another feature we'll be implementing soon...good point.
