Show HN: Instagram and Facebook Photos Delivered Monthly
strikingly.comI thought that the service was to just give me a monthly email digest of the best photos on Facebook so I don't have to go to the website. That I like in and of itself.
This I like too, I wouldn't personally be a subscriber, but I can see people who are very active on FB/Instagram really liking it.
That's an interesting idea for an email digest actually.
Thanks!
Who are you? You want me to give you money but you won't reveal your names or photos of yourselves?
"Who the hell are you to ask for money like this?" was my immediate reaction. No about page, no contact page. Nothing. So you've never done sales, and this is your first lesson. Being on the internet does not mean you can ask people for money without proving yourself to be legitimate.
And I see this 7/10 times on HN projects. The excuse is always the same: "Oh we forgot we just put the site up". The about page is the FIRST thing that should go up.
They have it on their main page, if you bothered to scroll down to the footer, you'd realize that this is not their main service, so it wouldn't make sense for them to have their information on every single page of their site.

What makes you think they run strikingly.com ? From what I can tell strikingly.com is a squarespace type deal, and they're using some cheap plan which plasters a logo on the page.
At this point we're testing the concept and seeing whether people are interested in having their most memorable FB/IG etc photos sent to them in physical form.
Btw, Strikingly (not affiliated with us) is a great tool for creating nice looking one-page sites. Recommend checking it out!
If you're at all serious I'd suggest investing the $16 to remove the branding of this other company + a couple bucks for a domain. Goes a long way to improve credibility.
Seriously, having your own domain goes a long way for credibility. Sorry about my confused reply, ChrisNorstrom, no harm intended. Oh and the "not bothering" bit of my comment was uncalled for, so, sorry for that as well.
Nice idea, though I'd probably just end up with a book of what everyone's had for lunch last month.
Can I select a group of "close friends" or "don't do duck face" rather that tagging?
>You can also tag photos on the fly with #SnapPic so they make the print for that month.
Did you even read the website?
> rather that tagging?
I did, but did you read my comment?
I understood the service as only printing photos you've uploaded.
Interested in learning more about this project but the "I Want In" button doesn't work for me. The button leads me a to "Page Not Found" page.
Here's the link I was directed to: http://www.strikingly.com/site65053-1375937917#3
thanks! Fixed it.

Would love to get some feedback on whether you'd use this service, or any ideas around it!
Is $7.99/month feasible? I would guess there are slim margins here, servers/bandwidth, colour printing, shipping, etc. I guess most of this can/should be outsourced to existing companies, you could just glue the pieces together.
As somebody from the industry; I can only imagine that it's being done in China or something. Even then there'd be super slim margins.
Kind of seems like a suite of services that could be for old people, extend to include a print out of a twitter feed and email inbox so they never have to use the computer.
Interesting service, not too sure if I would be using it given I am stuck on the feed "infinitely scrolling" about stuff in my universe :).
I like the idea, but not a fan of a stranger going through my facebook photos each month to make recommendations.
Well, there is already a stranger going over your email to show ads in your client no? ;-)
Is this a landing page to see how much interest there is, or is there something in advanced development?
Can we register multiple addresses ?
If I had children (!) I'd love to have photos sent to my relatives every month.
You really shouldn't give children's privacy away by posting their images and information at companies like Facebook.
