Show HN: I built this app to share photos at weddings and other social events

Hi all,

I built this Twilio + Node app to allow folks at weddings to text a number and share their pictures in a slideshow displayable via projector.

I'm also thinking about adding in the ability to save pictures and generate your own Twilio number through a GUI, possibly making it into a larger project that facilitates group photo sharing through SMS. Thoughts?

Thanks HN!

Awesome work, def. think there is a big market for this.

I also have to mention someone else who has done something similar (maybe get some ideas from) http://www.memms.io They create a nice friendly website for viewing the images too and convert videos to animated gifs.

E-Mail or other interface? MMS are relatively expensive for many people I know (nobody uses them and therefore nobody cares when selecting a phone plan what they cost, vs. people with a smartphone nearly always have data plans)

+1. An additional interface would be great. Looked at doing something similar a while back and quickly realized I would need multiple endpoints. One endpoint would be for trusted users who could automatically add to the stream, while a 2nd endpoint would require manual approvals. It would help prevent awkward moments when friends decide to have "fun" after a couple drinks.
