Why we're building Loom

I hate to be a jerk, but why so many first-world problem startups?<p>Is keeping a handle on your cat pictures and food shots really that big a deal, something that keeps Joe Sixpack up at night?<p>Here's an idea: instead of helping hipsters heap hi-res headshots of healthy hobos into the cloud, do something that matters.<p>For example, go after the giant clusterfuck that is medical image sharing. Again, it's cloud data storage of images, it's sharing on all kinds of devices, and it's technically challenging (privacy concerns, etc.)--and it actually helps people.<p>Why don't you take this tech and use it to help patients move their medical images between practitioners?

I've been using Loom's beta version for about two months now. I have to be honest. At first I didn't completely get it and I didn't use it too much. I thought it was just a photo centric version of Dropbox. And it took me a few more weeks and a few "I wish I could show you this right now" moments until I did get it and started appreciating a few of it's features.<p>I've been traveling a lot over the years and it is such an uplifting feeling to meet somebody again after some time, to share some "good old times" pictures and reconnect. One of the things about Loom is that it stores a low res. version of your pictures on your phone and allows you to stream full res. in no time, so I have pretty much all my pictures of the last 10 years on my phone. I've also found some really interesting use cases at work lately...

I've been lucky to be in the beta for the last two months or so... my wife and I use it to group the photos we individually take on our iPhones and then share them with our family back home. It just works, unlike our old setup

Looked at loom.com, don't get what this site does.<p>Looked at loom.com/about and read wall of text, still not sure.<p>I'd suggest finding a more efficient way to communicate what this site is to newcomers.

Ignore the hate -- this is a huge problem for millions that still hasn't been solved very well. I take tons of photos on my phone, and iPhoto is a terrible, clunky piece of software to manage all of them.<p>The end result is that, aside from the one-off shares to Instagram or Facebook, I don't do anything with my hundreds of photos at all. But I really want to. If Loom helps me do that, it's a very valuable service indeed.

I thought this was about the classic adventure game and was briefly excited...

Loom: Hire me to write your blog posts/press releases because that one is simply not engaging.

I've switched to using DropBox for my image storage and haven't looked back. It just works on all my devices, no problem. It works with videos too. How is Loom better than that?

I agree with the premise of the startup that dealing with photos on the iPhone is broken and an issue. Having used a Windows Phone for the past 6 months, I can say that I while I hate lots of things about the OS and phones, the syncing to Skydrive is truly awesome and has taken me out of the world that is described in the Loom positioning. My understanding that the Android space already has this figured out as well. I love not having to worry about syncing/downloading/etc - it has felt very freeing.<p>Which is to say, I think this is an interesting company, but very likely to face a serious challenge if/when Apple comes out with an update to iCloud that does the same things. Competing against stuff built into an OS is very, very hard - not impossible (see: Chrome, Firefox), but definitely hard.

&#62;Photo management is still broken – we want to change that.<p>Are you sure? Really really sure? There are countless photo management web, desktop and mobile apps.

So, uh, dropbox?<p>To be a bit more specific: please be more specific! How is this any different than dropbox? Are you building 'Adobe Lightroom for the cloud'?

"Ideally, you wouldn’t have to take time to think about personal content management anymore."<p>Sigh. Everytime someone makes things "easier" for me by removing my ability to manage my content, it ends up being way more frustrating than if I could just get the files with a file manager.

Is it a bit like Spotify for your photos? e.g., originals in the cloud, and streamed/cached in a smaller format to your local device? That I could get behind.

I wonder how much that domain cost.<p>Good name for a mobile / cloud app though.
