Show HN: Facebook response to Lovestagram. Our Valentine's weekend project.
- borski 15y agoEric from Motiv.es and I made this to help everyone this Valentine's Day. :) (I know there's an issue with the video in Safari, working on that now).
- borski 15y agoShould be fixed now.
- benwerd 15y ago"It will get you laid"? I know Valentine's Day is kind of a soulless, transparently commercial cash-in on human affection, but way to take it to the next shallow level. Otherwise, cool.
- borski 15y agoThanks for getting the joke.
- EScott11 15y agoDid you read the disclaimer :) ? I thought the actual product was genuinely cute.
- DarkShikari 15y agoAnd way to alienate 50% of your potential customers with (completely unnecessary) heavily gendered marketing, despite the fact that romance is not gender-specific.
- borski 15y agoWomen get laid plenty, too. This was intentionally not gender-specific. I apologize if you were offended in any way.
- MetalMASK 15y agovideo not showing in Firefox (on platform ubuntu xfce)
- borski 15y agoThat's a good thing, right? Just trying to make sure this isn't a bug report :P
- MetalMASK 15y agoturns out it's not OS related, firefox not working on both Windows7 and ubuntu
- borski 15y agoJust tested Firefox on Win7; the video isn't supposed to be there. It's just used for playing the music in the background.
- MetalMASK 15y agook. What I get is only a blank screen with a red banner that reads my note, and background music. Is there anything I am missing here? a slide show of pictures or what?
- borski 15y agoIt should be a slideshow of pictures you and your friend are tagged in on Facebook together. Here's an example: http://www.fbmyvalentine.com/cards/462bb3ca http://www.fbmyvalentine.com/cards/462bb3ca
- danso 15y agoPrivacy policy? * Oh, I see it's in the FB app acceptance thing...sorry, haven't accepted a FB app inawhile.
- hswolff 15y agoJust showed it to my gf who found it very cute. Thanks for this, well done. =)
- ainsleyb 15y agoI'll be playing this song on repeat all day :)
- eob 15y agoRequiring my Facebook credentials to log in guarantees my non-participation. I realize I'm in the minority for behaving that way, but there is a nonzero number of potential users you lose when you charge the fee of privacy at the door. Which makes me think: it would be really interesting to see the demographic breakdown of people who behave similarly.
- borski 15y agoIn general, I agree with you, but as this uses Facebook to find photos of you and your loved one, it was pretty impossible to not require Facebook authentication.
- untog 15y agoIt's called "FBMyValentine". I mean, I think it's to be expected. In case you were wondering, it uses your friends list, and then uses photos of you with your significant other. Without Facebook signin this would be a dramatically different (and far less compelling) product.
- patrickryan 15y agoThis is awesome, sent to my gf. Thanks and nice work!
- fido 15y agoNice!! Good job Michael and Eric!! I just scored a few much needed extra points with Stephanie. (Much needed because I took her to see "The Grey" last night.) *Note to self. When faced with "The Vow", and "The Grey" on night before Valentines, choose "The Vow".
- kurtvarner 15y agoI'm getting an error when creating a card. "Application Error - An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details."
- borski 15y agoShould be fixed now.
- twoarrows 15y agoMy wife didn't care for it :( but my girlfriend loved it!
- timerickson 15y agoAfter adding a name, it spins endlessly, not showing anything but the red ribbon, while playing an Ingrid Michaelson song that I'm quite sure you don't have the licensing to play.
- borski 15y agoShould be fixed now.
