This is exciting! I&#x27;ve long believed that Flickr should have doubled down on their existing users instead of trying to become another Instagram.<p><i>A longtime fan of Flickr, MacAskill says before making any decisions, he plans to collect feedback from employees and users.</i><p>Hey Don - I used to pay money for Flickr, and I&#x27;m happy to start paying again if there is evidence of forward motion. I want to have a place to securely store my RAW files in addition to my edited photographs, and I want to see a focus on community again.

Very excited for this. It&#x27;s quite disappointing to see the one&#x2F;only popular photo sharing app (instagram) work so hard to restrict usage to phone apps.<p>Sometimes you want to share photos from a non-phone camera, or look at photos on your computer screen.<p>Rooting for you flickr!

Oh wow! I&#x27;m cautiously optimistic that Flickr can be brought back from the dead. I loved Flickr&#x27;s platform to share my photos and find other photographers to follow and get inspiration from.<p>C&#x27;mon SmugMug!

It’s rare that sites come back from the dead, but Flickr has a great niche if they can fully exploit it.

Finally, some hope that Georges Haddad&#x27;s work can be erased.
