Summary
The team has been really focused on four main priorities:
- Change host and DevOps workflows from Pantheon to AWS/BitBucket
- Rebuild MVP on AWS with newest version of OpenSocial distribution of Drupal
- Implement the new Figma designs for the MVP
- Complete media cluster recognition engine as described in this blog post
We're hopeful that as we quickly rebuild GreatAlbum MVP, we'll finally wrap up our current sprint, so we can re-launch our private beta.

KEY FEEDBACK FROM PIONEER MEMBERS:

I don't backup, I don't share albums. The main problem I find it is so disorganised it is just not a priority for me to be able to organise it. What do Like to share is saved TikTok and send them to friends but even that (Saved in my gallery ) is a mess so I rarely do that. If they were more organised it would be easier for me thought I do not know if I would share them more often just due to being more organised.

I use dropbox and store photos on my laptop. I suppose I am a bit hesitant of just putting everything up in the cloud in case the cloud gets hacked and I lose it all. I tend to email photos to family or put them up on Facebook in albums. But haven't done that for a while because of security concerns.

I do back them up, thousands I'm sure. I use my iphone to share albums as well. Probably about 4 times a year, usually for a specific instance, not uploading regularly to the album. Mostly I post photos to IG and it downloads to my phone to icloud. Hope this is helpful!

I do use Google Photos. I am not sure about the number but its a lot! With respect to sharing of photos, I typically use it to send and receive photos from family and friends from an outing.
