Show HN: PicLyf - photo blogs around life, things & interests

Hello HN readers.

Would like to show our startup's product for feedback and opinions. We've been building this for over a year now. Its got an API, taxonomy (topics) stuff, photo editor and more. First time building anything of this scale.

The stack is Yii PHP framework, backbone.js, jquery, memcached, REDIS, MySQL, and a bunch more i am forgetting.

I am the front end and product guy. Please send feedback, it will be much appreciated

It took me a while to login. I tried to register but it says my email was already taken. Could it be you still kept the accounts from Twidlit? Anyway, I was able to recall my password and was able to login.

For feedback, I suggest you make it easy for users to give you feedback. The Contact Us link in the footer isn't noticeable. I will give more feedback as I use the app.

Congratulations on the release and good luck! More power to Philippine Startups! =)

PicLyf sounds like a good entry for Tractup: http://www.tractup.com a site for early product traction. :s

Anyway, sounds good.

piclyf sounds more than that, very good idea! Good luck with it.

Oh and a friend of mine were just talking to me about ideas on shared photos some days ago. I think you should think if you have not already did it, about very interactive stuff on photos like deformation, alien head transformation, mini games... I'm not expert, my friend is. People really like to share photos. Good luck again.

Oh and, the "photo-blog your life" works well to me. =)
