Summary
We've finally finished our long, sordid journey of rebuilding GreatAlbum and launching MVP2. Read more in this blog post. We've shifted the platform from Pantheon to AWS, rebuilt on top of Open Social, implemented the ability to import Google Photos and to organize clusters of photos into events with the click of a button. While we still have tons of bugs and feature gaps, we're excited to restart our Private Beta today, November 15th, and reengage with our most trusted users while we work feverishly to fix bugs and help our customers realize our dream!
