#2> You don’t really remember the exact month something happened, but you always remember who was there.
This is such a weird premise, I can already search photos by people on my phone or Mac, but that also lets me find photos without people in.

#3Not trying to be a hater, but I'm not sure if I would download an app just for this, and I'm almost 100% sure my non-tech friends and family wouldn't.
Is there a way to make this an add-on to another product that people are already on? Or a site that pulls data from another product?

Sure, but it doesn't always work and isn't very organized. My point is that you already organized all of those photos every time you shared them. So why not capitalize on it for future photos without additional effort?
The other thing is that it isn't straightforward to pass on existing photos to children. I inherited boxes of photo albums and VHS tapes from my childhood, but it's a lot more complicated to share a whole bunch of memories with future generations; adding a placeholder to a bunch of albums that someone else can inherit later just makes more sense to me.

Which part? The photos or the feed?

#6Is your pricing enough for the service to make money without requiring VC funding? And are you going to be able to maintain business focus on your core use cases throughout the next 5-10 years? I think it's a tough sell for me and my friends to use something like old Facebook when we know the rest of that story.

My god, they really did recreate Facebook
Re: We accidentally recreated old Facebook
#9Ah, see, you didn’t recreate it just because of the interface; you recreated because it’s currently a high-trust social environment, because your friends and family are using it, because they know who you are. Old Facebook was high-trust because we all were naive and trusting.
Perhaps the question is how to continue to create high-trust environments from a social perspective, not an interface perspective.

I think so, the feed doesn't really cost much and our infra isn't on AWS. The main focus is the photo storage and as long as that makes enough to cover costs long-term I'm happy keeping it the way it is. There isn't really a point trying to compete with modern Facebook.
