Hi, I co-founded a company that works on a similar idea, just from a slightly different perspective (focus on storytelling, not so much the aggregation): http://memoarc.com/ We should hang out :-)

Saying that you are intelligent is just so cringe-worthy. If you want to make a point about yourself give two small examples of what you've achieved and let the reader form an opinion.

Nice, thanks! I wish there was a cleaned up repository of datasets like these, in a unified format, directly accessible to a public MapReduce engine like Elastic at AWS.

Some of that must be a California thing. In an European office of one of the mentioned companies, most people almost always eat lunch with their team in a canteen and plenty people do 3-4 day long weekends to go on trips all the time (+ nor

Depends on the randomness of the paths. With URLs coming from a limited set of websites - yes, there would be some savings. With a set of random strings, for alphabet with 64 chars, there are 16M different 4 character prefixes, so the savin

Ah, in that case it goes straight to set<string> for me :-) I think that in practice you want to do that but then drop in a few asserts to check whether things are not getting out of control once you forgot about this decision.

Sure, but it can blow up faster than you think. Say you have 100k URL strings, up to 128 chars each, with 64 allowed characters in alphabet. - storing this at byte per char = 12.8MB - storing this in a basic trie = 12.8 * 64 = 820MB - stori

You went to Stanford and have never seen a Trie in highschool? There are a few highschools in Bratislava, Slovakia that teach basic data structures in their Intro to programming courses.

With a basic Trie, you always have this problem of how to keep the pointers at each node. Naively, you can: 1) Keep an array of size equal to the alphabet size, indexed by the characters, holding pointers to successive nodes. - but this blo

We will probably go with $5 mo./25GB with some mechanism to extend the limit if needed. How many of those 10mb photos do you roughly have in your use-case?

Thanks! What are your pain-points with G+? 1) Although the storification is largely automated, it still requires some user input (event names) so we thought that it would't make much sense to pre-storify everything. We are adding some graph

Thanks :) Do you think that a free 1 month trial + only premium afterwards would work better in this case than a freemium model? We figured that there could be a large segment of casual day-trip travelers who like to share a story in a more

Wow terrific feedback, definitely appreciated! 1) Login with Google is just a way to make it simpler for us for an MVP (and as you note we need the photos as we don't have a direct photo upload in this product just yet). 2) The graph is a r

Thanks for the report! Yeah the bugs that break the user flow are the worst, we are looking into it. If you use the Close button or the back arrow on the top, that should work in the meantime.
