I'm a software engineer who left his job at Yahoo! to bring freedom to everyone's photos. I previously co-founded a photo sharing startup between 2003 and 2008 and have been obsessed with making photo sharing better ever since.

    @patrick Sorry it's been a while since the last update. Here's where we are at... 1) The hosted version we're hoping to have at the end of November. 2) Some rewards are waiting on a finalized logo (t-shirt, camera strap) 3) Rest of the rewards will come after the hosted version is available. If you have specific questions you can reach me at jaisen@openphoto.me

    Chris (and others), We've added Dropbox support and are looking for a few testers :). Send an email to hello@openphoto.me if you're interested. -- Jaisen

    Since it's what KS backers are expecting I'll try to knock this out quickly. There's an Oct. 14th release which I'll try to include it in.

    @Chris, There are some limitations of the Dropbox API I wasn't aware of so I had postponed adding support. Today, however, I revisited it and came up with a pretty good solution. You can track the issue here: https://github.com/openphoto/frontend/issues/205. -- Thanks, Jaisen

    Daniel, The bucket can be any globally unique value. We updated the default to be the host name (yourname.openphoto.me). The SimpleDb domain can be any name you'd like.

    Thanks Keith. Go figure - you can never get away from Facebook :). I think it's a bug to have a FB Like button on a "private" message to backers only though.
