Interesting but raising my eyebrowns a bit because sounds a bit too black and white. Do you have time to explain more or do you have some data to back up such a claim?

Fair point. But for people who are doing these: please put the same instructions what is needed for the password when logging in the later time through normal login process. It might help to remember the password better (at least would help one person on this planet, me).

(edit: fixed typos, not a native english speaker here)

Will do. I was sure yhere were so.e of those left. Thanks for the hint.

Author here.

About a week ago a posted about my weekend project here as "Show HN".

I got some questions asking about the architecture and technology behind it so I decided to write a blog post about it.

Happy to answer to any questions and tell more if someone is interested.

Yes, but it needs an app to post the photos. And it has slightly different usecases that I'm after. (Pixomize is more like: "everyone who wants to share photos, just post them to this email address so we can all download them").

More than happy to answer. I am planning to write a blog post about technical parts soon.

The traffic was not that big for this kind of sites. Yesterday there seemed to be around 2.5K visitors from HN and each having average 2.1 page views per session.

The resizing service is implemented from scratch. It's very simple (resize and cache) and does not have the possibility to define point of interest (yet - I would like to do some experiences with that too).

I'm currently writing a technical blog post about Pixomize.

Thanks for the heads up for the typo. Will be fixed in the next push. Will rephrase the second instruction after also.

Currently the album owner gets teaser emails that the album is about to expire. Owner cannot buy "more online time" yet but that is on my road map. I will not need that feature before some weeks when the first albums start expiring :)

Good point about an option for the owner to send email. I will think about it. There is already a automatic notify that is sent to everyone who posted to the expiring album saying "the album is expired now, but you can still download all the photos as a zip file from this link".

How I see it, these two services are for pretty different use cases. Basic idea behind Pixomize is to have a common album with your friends or other people and you fill the album together.

Thanks @HenryMc, Solution 1 implemented (owner of the album can decide).

Nope, currently in Finland.

Mind if I ask why? :)

Good question. Currently none.

Current usage levels have been so low that I have not yet used too much time to implement the payment methods.

I'm currently validating that people will click that button enough so that it's worth to implement the payment.

I should probably change that euro char to dollar one.

Yeah, I have check some of them.

- Cluster, one needs to install app on it (needs iphone or android).

- BirdBox, one needs to install app on it (and only iphone)

- Adobe - GroupPix, is pretty close but one needs an app on it

- SeaHorse - one needs to login, have an app

- EverSnap - nice one, but needs an app for it

- CapsuleCam - needs an app

So yes, so my idea here is that one would not need to install yet another app or register.

(Never heard Photo Circle before. Will check it out.)

(edit: changed format, typo)

I really like your 1st option / idea. Will think about it a bit more and implement that as an option for an album owner to decide.

Thanks mate!
