Show HN: Move photos b/w Flickr, Facebook and G+ by drag n drop
- sathyabhat 15y agoNo big deal. Just click on the ad if you wish to! I don't think this is a wise line to have, IIRC it is a violation of Adsense ToS to ask people to click on ads.
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoOops. Have removed it.
- sathyabhat 15y agoThanks. Another thing: Clicking on "Like" on facebook shows "You've liked Index of /" heh. http://i.imgur.com/uKfNc.png http://i.imgur.com/uKfNc.png
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoYes. I saw that too. No idea why. Tried fixing all forms of redirects.
- nekgrim 15y agoI don't see open graph tags in your header. Did you try putting them ? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ Step 2. The like button seems to have changed recently, relying only on open graph tags, and not on <title> and others informations.
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoah. didn't know that. I have added the tags now. Yet the same thing happens.
- buster 15y agoWow.. that's neat! Always a pain to manage photos in different services..
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoExactly why i built this. Necessity is the mother of inventions :)
- bobbles 15y agoI have a couple of thousand of photos on Flickr nicely arranged into sets. I would assume the way I would normally want to use an app like this is create a gallery/set on FB/Flickr, and then click+drag it to the other site to have a copy. It looks like this UI only allows me to drag like 5 individual photos at a time, is that right? (Actually, it looks like galleries are recognised in facebook, but only individual shots from Flickr?)
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoYes. For now galleries are recognized in facebook and google+ but not on flickr for now. That is a coming soon feature. Thanks for your comment :)
- zalew 15y agoWow, I just needed something just about like this. If there will be an option to drag and drop full Picasa albums (I see them in the frame) into Flickr and they appear as Flickr Sets, I'm in. Good work there, keep up. The UI needs some work IMO, feels a bit oldschool. Tell me one more thing: are visibility settings compatible? If an album is private on Picasa, will it be private on Flickr?
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoYup. The app currently deals only with individual photos in flickr and not albums/sets. The visibility settings aren't compatible for now. Am working on providing the choice to user at the time of migration.
- hamoid 15y agoThere is an issue with some characters in Flickr: http://i43.tinypic.com/3445gf5.png http://i43.tinypic.com/3445gf5.png My Flickr user name is the same as here, in case you want to check where that error comes from. Is the description copied from Flickr to G+? Any other data like comments, location?
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoLooks like some corner case. Thanks for pointing it out, will check. On all pictures and albums caption is copied over. It is not possible to copy over comments as g+ user to fb user cannot be done deterministically.
- hamoid 15y agoNot sure if it's a good idea, but maybe someone would enjoy the option of copying the comments as flat text added to the caption. Like "Caption first... Flickr comments: 1. bla 2. bla"
- vigneshv_psg 15y agoThat seems like a good idea. Will try to implement that! Thanks.
- darwindeeds 15y agoVery nice idea.. Is this your MVP product? SocialFolders which launched recently has some cool features like this. I saw on of the comments about "click on ad", are you relying on ad revenue? Have you though of a business model yet? The UI definitely needs a face lift. Good luck to your future prospects.
