I'll join the others in saying congratulations and good work. I'm interested in using OpenPhoto myself, but like a few others who commented I'm a little unsure of what I get out of it.
If you don't mind a bit of hopefully helpful criticism, perhaps change the three-item rotator at the top of http://theopenphotoproject.org/ http://theopenphotoproject.org/ to the following:
- A gorgeous web album to show off your photos (getting across that a Flickr-like interface to view photos comes with the product)
- Free mobile app for iOS and Android (getting across that a mobile app interface to view photos comes with the product)
- Take back your photos (change the long description here to state more clearly that you have full file-level access to your photos, hosted on a server you "own")
- Free, open and easy to use (perfect as it is)
- Flexible API & apps (perfect as it is)
That initial point-form section should get across everything you need to know, and I don't think it currently does. Lastly, I'd love an invite if you wouldn't mind sending one to sully AT yllus DOT com.
- jmathai 15y agoThanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it and we'll include that in our revision which we need to do soon based on HN comments! :) Can you send an email to hello@openphoto.me? Swamped with invites and that way you won't fall through the cracks.
- yllus 15y agoWill do! Actually was a bit egotistical of me to expect the reverse, hah. It's a shame that you couldn't get empowered at Yahoo to turn Flickr into this. Maybe they'll buy you back (as talent) and give you the big chair to run things? ;)
- jmathai 15y agoHahaha, I was asked so many times why I didn't stay at Yahoo with this idea. Upper management at Yahoo would have made sure to do whatever they could to get promotions while killing the product.
