Scammy to ask me to link to FB, give you access to everything, then make me "wait for an invite" or try to get 3 friends to advance my spot.

- petervandijck 15y ago(founder here) We're not trying to be scammy, it's more so that when you do finally log in, your photos will already be there. But yes, it's definitely something we should work on. You can easily skip that step though, no harm done.
- bigohms 15y agoReally? And where's the call to action for that? I see a text input box, two buttons for Sharing on FB and Twitter. I also don't understand the significance of the 1-2-3 step indicator. From a UI perspective it doesn't tell me where I am. Why would I share this to my entire social graph, risking my reputation, if I haven't vetted the product?
- petervandijck 15y agoWe have to improve that page, yes. We're not trying to share anything to your social graph, just to privately import your photos. Gotta make that more clear. Thanks for the feedback, good stuff! (founder here)
- bigohms 15y agoYea I understand you aren't pushing to the graph. The point was that until I actually see/feel/use/fall in love with it (well, not that far) I am very hesitant against sharing about the app in order to get an invite. That's probably just a personal thing.
- bigohms 15y agoAlso, after receiving an invite, I am urged to create an account and then there is "One last step!"?!???! What's the step? Download a tiny program that watches my computer and uploads photos that it finds. REALLY? Yes, I will be skipping that step. In the app, it seems to have lost my album structure. On the upside, the app is FAST. Now, where is the account delete function?
- petervandijck 15y agoWe're adding that before launch :) We're gonna add the Facebook album structure back in as well. (founder here). Thanks for the feedback!
- linorosa 15y agoHi, gush dev here. I'm curious, why did you so quickly discard the idea of downloading the 'tiny program that watches your computer'? Does the way we present it sound sketchy? Do you use dropbox? Thanks for the feedback :)
- bigohms 15y agoHi gush - Definitely the way things are written and presented can use a bit of polishing and help adoption. I sent an email to your notifier along the same lines. I do have a dropbox account and don't use it very much. I think overall the concept is very sound, however the details need work and perhaps slowly on boarding the user by proving utility before (seemingly) forcing another step.
