Have you seen Flag [1]? It was a successful Kickstarter [2] for making photo prints free by supporting them with advertising on the back. Might be something worth looking into.
Great idea; it's a bit unclear to me how to become a user (rather than advertiser), there's reference to an app but I couldn't find anything. I wouldn't mind getting photos printed for free with ads on the back. Still in beta?
I'm also curious to see what the auction prices end up being - they may start at $0.01, but I doubt you'll stay in business long printing+shipping at that price.
I also wonder - if an advertiser bids for 1000 ads, are those spread among 1000 different people, or 50 people x 20 photos (or whatever)? As a user, would I upload all the photos I want printed and then sit back and wait for a bundle to come in the mail?
I'm not sure I agree with "You're adding a limit to an existing technology which never in the past had one.". Right now you cant create/upload Photo Albums from any of our competitors' solutions so other than opening up Facebook to add in a photo album there's no way to Schedule the posting of an album. Support for additional Social Platforms is coming soon. Just wrote a blog post covering this one https://www.getstacker.com/blog/5/everything-we-are-working-...
It's a great idea and I wish I'd known last Christmas when I had to print and post 5-6 photos to 5 recipients with a total cost of ~£100. My hustle also costs something but it's not priced in.
Only one question if I may. How can I know for sure you delete the photos? Is the business GDPR compliant? If I am based in the EU, do my photos need to go to server in the US? I'd prefer if they didn't have my young daughter's pics...
Over 5000. But doubtful that I would upload them all. maybe 200 max. I think a photo limit as flickr has done is the best format that a site like your can go with. Heavy users are willing to shell out extra for more photo limit (unlimited). I think you need a free option though (even if it's limited).
Thanks! All photos are offloaded straight to the cloud and jobs are organised in similar way as on any messaging app, so environment should be very familiar to new users.
No restrictions on number of jobs/photos, however in the future we might need to introduce fair use data policy for bigger accounts.
I was making a single postcard per image, and needed a total of 30 separate images. These were going to a family member (30 postcards from 30 locations for her 30th birthday).
Having to wait a week for each image, and pay $100 each, wasn't going to work.
For personal use such as this it'd be nice if there were an easier way. Maybe Flickr could even be the middle man and take a 30% cut.
We're probably going to hit the 20,000 photos milestone today. It's not much. But our users are allowed to upload only one photo per day. That's 20,000 days of couple of hundred people. Almost 55 years worth of photos :)
I'm looking for feedback on the UX, design and also any tips on getting traction, which I really struggle with.
idea is to try to make photo by request, which I see as a nice exercise, otherwise I can
About legal issues, I don't see problems there actually. Except model releases, if people are on the photo. But this is concerns to discuss over email.
> really limiting and cannot last long
thats an idea, I'm not going to make money with it and it's just an exercise and hobby.
Cool product, it'd be interesting if a marketplace style thing could exist in it too to vastly increase the number of available images, and allow others to profit off your app too (you take your cut of course).
