Does anyone find it weird that a &quot;Show HN&quot; kind of lacks on the &quot;Show&quot; aspect.<p>All the site really has is a beta signup button and one screenshot. I personally don&#x27;t want to give you any information (including my email) for something I barely understand or see.

Agreeing with all that has already been said and the fact that it lacks a product or something to test, even the descriptions are very vague.<p>&quot;<i>Amazing photo albums created from all of your photos automatically - it&#x27;s the best photo organizer ever made.</i>&quot;<p>What photo albums? Facebook? From my hard drive?<p>&quot;<i>Never worry about your photos again. You can choose what albums to backup</i>...&quot;<p>Where? In a cloud infrastructure you own and manage or within one of my own existing backup solutions?<p>Ok you want to collect signups for a beta, fine. But at least have a video, thorough descriptions, about us, mission statement, links to press etc.

I hate to &quot;me too&quot;, but I agree with all of the comments so far. There is simply too little there to &quot;show&quot; me anything, and too little to make me want to go any further.<p>HN needs a way to upvote a whole bunch of comments without all the tedious clicking. Or a way of indicating that the comments are worthy, the original topic of discussion is not (and therefore not worthy of upvoting).

I don&#x27;t want to detract from this team or anything, because this looks very pretty and well done. But on the other hand, I have to ask... Do we really need another photo organizer? I&#x27;m an amateur photographer, and I take a ton of photos, but I rarely need anything better than Flickr or Dropbox or even a Facebook photo album. What&#x27;s the selling point for &quot;a better photo organizer&quot;? Is this a pain point that&#x27;s big enough to justify this kind of time and energy investment? Or is a &quot;photo organizer&quot; app the new to-do app for showing off mobile design skills?<p>Aren&#x27;t there more pressing problems to solve out there?<p>(Not trying to be snarky, btw. Just kinda thinking out loud. I fully support the developers&#x27; ability and right to build whatever they want. I just kinda think this is a first-world problem that has already been solved to death.)

&gt; Amazing photo albums created from all of your photos automatically - it&#x27;s the best photo organizer ever made.<p>Ok..? Should I just take your word for it? Got a demo of the organizer up somewhere? I must be missing something.

If it&#x27;s just an app, I guess there won&#x27;t be much integration with OSX and web clients ? e.g. a way to integrate a massive amount of already existing photos that won&#x27;t be on the phone. Or add the new photos taken from time to time with a DSLR, or integrate with Lightroom or other photo management applications.<p>While thre&#x27;s not much details available, it brings a lot of (perhaps undue) sceptism from the start.

The 4 features that are mentioned on the front page, do not differ from the features already provided by the default Photo App.<p>&gt; it&#x27;s the best photo organizer ever made<p>Perhaps you should elaborate on that, or at least provide a visual demonstration.
