I'm friend of one of your developers. I've had alpha access for like a month or so. I've chatted him a bit about the project, but I'll give you some feedback directly.

In short, I think your project is cool but I don't think it is for me. As far as I can tell, you're trying to do a sort of dropbox-style thing, except with images. That's pretty cool (especially the unlimited free storage), but for me I am not really interested. I just don't see the purpose of putting things into the cloud, just because. I have a lot of local storage, and the local storage is faster, and (usually) larger, and not very expensive at all. Sure I run the risk of losing my pictures to a hardware failure, but I mean, oh well, guess I won't have my curated 4chan content anymore.

Overall I think this is pretty cool.

Hey, thanks for the feedback :) If it's not for you, that's fine, such is life. I think it's more for people with pictures of their kids and stuff, they tend to care more about not losing them and having them all in one place etc. Thanks again for the comment!
