It is unclear to me what this app is. It's Instagram and Google Docs for Mac? As a single app?

I mentioned this on the last Collections thread, but I'll mention it again. Getting an email with the word "collections" in it causes a quick jump when I glance through my emails. Not sure how to get around that since it's the name of your software, but it makes me feel like I forgot to pay something and upsets me.

Looks beautiful, but there is no description the app or its purpose - just a description of 2 of its features.<p>So, what is it?

Honest question for the devs - why the focus on Instagram? I thought that your original product was fantastic (despite the security problems). I feel like adding in Instagram takes away from the awesome original version: an amazing desktop version of Google Docs.

Beautifully done, exactly what I wanted to organized my docs. Sadly, I am drooling over how my pictures could be organized too, but I don't have an instagram account - can you organize FB pictures? Pretty please? :)

So is it no longer in beta? It didn't replace the previous version I had installed because the name no longer includes "beta".<p>Why do I have to login again? Do you have DEBUG off on the production server this time? I was weary giving my credentials the first time, still am.<p>Is the spreadsheet editor still just an web view? Yep, looks like it is. That's my biggest hinderance here, it's so much easier to edit spreadsheets in Chrome because I can do things like edit the page without having to find the mysterious icon for it on the top right.<p>I haven't tried editing any other filetypes, so I don't know if you have any actual integrated editor that isn't just using Docs in a web view, but I think that's really a much more important aspect of a program like this for myself rather than it being able to login to all of my random accounts.

I'm interested in the developer's thought processes regarding the functions of this application.<p>Google Docs and Instagram are related how? I don't conflate users of either services with users of the other necessarily.

Since the people involved with this app are replying in here:<p>Is this another app I will come to love and find invaluable only to one day wake to "we've been bought by Google!"?<p>Do you have a business plan that involves long-term support for (and monetization) of your users?<p>If not, I simply won't install something that has the raw potential to be so important to me.

Doesn't seem to work in Mountain Lion. I launched the app, added my google account, then went to add my Instagram account, however I had to do a password reset, when I switched back to collections it was unresponsive. Re-launching the app shows me the chrome of your main window and then it goes unresponsive again.<p>If I can be of any help with your testing, let me know!

the fact i still love this app despite their terrible security problems from the last launch is a very good sign for them. i'd pay for this. don't need the instagram support though. sticking to professional stuff (like docs) seems like a more prudent move. google will be chasing this company soon.

Tried it, don't have a use for it. I'm not an Instagram user, nor do I use Google Docs much.<p>Will there be support for other 'collections' cloud services, like Delicious for example? I could see it being a handy interface to my bookmarks in Delicious, if it were supported ..

Not sure how the Instagram fits into the original goal of the app ... but cool!

I really am enjoying this app and I think you have made something great. I do agree with the sentiment that you haven't yet made the value proposition as clear, but that will change.

When this was first posted, there was an issue with security credentials. It would be good to know more about what you are doing to secure things going forward.

Just re-downloaded. I love the new icon, I think that swung it back for me. Beta 1 was hurting my Dock.

Doesn't resize on my 13" screen meaning I can't see content? Kind of weird.
