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're almost about to hit your KPIs, great job!
1. I document most of the stuff happening in my life so I have more than 10k photos and videos stored.
2. I back them up in my hard drive but they're also stored on Google Photos so it can be easily shared and accessed.
3. I always share travel albums and special occasions photos to my family and friends.
Let me know if I can be any be more help!
Reply: Great to know that you capture the moments of your life and store them. When you share albums is it usually with the same set of people? would it be valuable if those albums be organized in groups where you define the members only once for each group, and then you wouldn't have to specify whenever you share a new album? this would also give you a list of albums for each group where you can filter by event type, individuals, places.

cool idea, but why only photos and videos and not all files? Would you be to much like dropbox then?
Reply: Thanks. Our aim is not to host the content, but instead help user to share and organize content that is hosted elsewhere. Initially we are focused on Apple and Google photos and maybe Youtube. We are able to integrate with Google drive and Dropbox for sharing documents, and we are considering that for a future phase, right now we have to demonstrate product market fit for future photos and videos.
