Reminds me of a comment I saw on here the other day:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4722671" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4722671</a><p><pre><code> > Facebook is going to forge a new path to irrelevance, not

This really rang true to me and I think this project is further early evidence of the way we're headed.<p>Edit: Just realised that the comment I've quoted is actually <i>by</i> the creator of this project!
Good job. Nice clean design on the site & email.<p>I made something in a similar vein a while back, although it wasn't linked to any social network: <a href="http://www.sendasaurus.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sendasaurus.com</a> if you're curious. Basically you manually upload the photos and then it automatically sends them one at a time, once a day.<p>I think you're right to focus on the simplicity and mind-free aspect of the service. It might be worth reflecting this in your pricing too, eg have an option to pay $20 for an entire year. I definitely find it nicer to spend a lump like that and not have to think about it, than to see a monthly dribble of small amounts.
Surely unrelated to Eytan Levit's idea,[1] but very funny that these arose on HN at the same time! (although clearly Eytan's post is now specifically about his idea)<p>[1]seen at <a href="http://www.eytanlevit.com/post/34639708833/operation-hogwarts-getting-into-ycs-w2013-batch" rel="nofollow">http://www.eytanlevit.com/post/34639708833/operation-hogwart...</a>
One possible flaw here is that it only sends public images. I don't post pics (the exact pics I want to send) of my daughter publicly.<p>Isn't there a way to tag the photo as ok to send?
Product / Market fit for some of my friends (whom I sent it to)<p>Basically, young parents with kids and [grand]parents who aren't going to join FB. Perfect fit.
