OP here. Just to flesh out why Monogram is better than your average Instagram gallery, we import all of the images to our db and allow users to create galleries from any of those images.<p>If you have a cool photo you took a year ago and one from yesterday then you can easily add these to the same portfolio. You can also filter by your most liked and most commented photos.<p>These are features not available through the Instagram API so we built them and we think it's pretty cool. We also periodically refresh the images to keep their comment/like counts up to date and use the realtime API to pull in new additions.<p>Any feedback welcome!

Visited the website, I really don't see any indication of what the product is.<p>Your about page says:<p>"We wanted to make a tool that helps you promote your work online. Something that doesn't waste your time. No bells and whistles, just practical, robust and beautiful."<p>You built something? What exactly did you build?<p>Your homepage describes a profile.. what's a profile?<p>Only after I clicked around a lot did I finally look at the featured work, and saw an idea of what you're selling.<p>Without that the rest of the site doesn't really convey a strong idea of what you're actually trying to offer someone.

Great to see a Canadian submission. Very nice design and the product seems to work well.<p>I really liked the ease of signing up and the friction-less way of adding the subscription.<p>I notice you are planning on adding other services. I assume those will be standalone products under the monogr.am brand ?<p>Edit: Never mind, I realized they will additional "plugins".<p>A quick note, the default page for a new site isn't responsive (not sure if that's be design or ...)
