Summary
The team has been really focused on two main priorities:
-
Rebuild MVP on AWS with newest version of OpenSocial distribution of Drupal
-
Implement the new Figma designs for the MVP
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:
You solve a huge problem with massive potential. Maybe you update any elements on site the site design so that it is immediately clear what benefit you are doing. For example, graphically show the use case. Know - the design has a huge role when you first get acquainted with the project! Leave a positive feeling after visiting the site!
Cool project!
The website redesign is very good!
Urging headline, nice visuals, simple copy focused on your visitor!
Add social links to reach out to more potential users!
Lots and lots of photos, family ones stored on our phones mainly, which we share within family very often!
I have thousands of photos, some taken with a DSLR but most on my iPhone. All photos live in iCloud and are sync'd across all my Apple devices. Photos are shared with family via shared albums (again in iCloud), but that's all done manually. Some photos are shared directly with my wife (or others) via Messages (with the Photos app suggesting who to share with). We'll share photos a few times a month.
