Hey guys, it's Sam (divvyshot's creator). The site's a piece of crap right now, but hopefully things will be better over the coming weeks. Release early and frequently, right? If you find any huge bugs email me: so / at / divvyshot / dot / com Features we've built and haven't yet launched include: - A Desktop client (PC & Mac) - Twitter, Flickr, & Facebook synchronization - Facebook application - An iPhone app (you can see real time what's happening at the event you're attending and push photos to the event from your phone) - Snipshot photo editing

Consider adding captcha on the signup, to prevent automation! Also, can users email their photos, even if they are not registered?

  There are other ways to prevent automation (JS) -- captcha is like one of the most damaging ways of fighting it, and it will always lower your conversion rate significantly. When you're starting out, lower conversion is a death sentence. My take: solve problems like this when you have to, not before.

Allow email addresses to contain a plus. It's something a lot of gmail users like to do.

  Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

    `+` doesn't work in emails. TOS is scary.

  That's great, I didn't know Gmail had this feature. Thanks for the tip!

I can't sign up! Please increase the email address' field to 50 charachters, so I would be able to sign up! Thanks!

Very cool, event-based photo sharing with easy group sharing is a good idea. Two quick suggestions -- you shouldn't have to give a name to each photo you upload, and you should look at the exif data for the image orientation so pictures don't display sideways.

Dear Sam, Congratulations for the website. After using it for couple of days, I think that you have a too long journey to make it in a beta edition! The idea of the startup is really cool, but it's not about ideas only... as someone said before: Ideas are worthless! The website lacks a zillion essential features, and even the existing features don't work properly! For example, someone added me as a friend without my permission and I am trying to remove him, but noway! Also there is a killing security hole in the website that could double or maybe trible your bills in the future, if someone "idiot" abuses it. You have too long road... you need a developer with you! You need someone who just can't develop the website, but also someone who has a vision to take this startup to the next stage! If you think that you have chosen the wrong programming language, then there is no shame in choosing another easier language like PHP. Also it's ok to code it from the scratch.... even big projects are re-coded from the scratch! Till now... you did not even fix the "30 charachters limit" for the email addresses! Good luck.
