yup, it is currently twitter login only, there will be other login options soon of course. haven't seen satoshibox.com, they are keeping it nice and simple
that typically would be a concern, but our first version is built only with a Coinbase integration, and all payments are handle through their merchant services and their payment iframes. Once we implement our own payments we will have to handle this appropriately.
Timecapsule.io (http://timecapsule.io/) works exactly like this. It was built for the exact same reason, although I think the purpose and problem was maybe worded a little more clearly here.
As of this current version it would be gone. But I was already considering this as a first add in the next version. Will probably save the entire page or save the entire article so that it can be served anytime in the future without relying on the url. Also considering adding a user chosen backup outside of Timecapsule.io for their articles, so they can be confident that they are always available, even if something were to happen to Timecapsule.io, say in five years.
Thanks guys for the feedback in Firefox. I'll check it out. I think a few people maybe having a problem with the big black box (a video). Sharing a Timecapsule could be interesting! I'll keep it in mind for the next version.
For PrintSpace I used Pwinty, like @samwillis said in this thread and I couldn't agree more, Pwinty is a really easy to use printing API with a simple pricing structure.
What made them an easy choice over others was you can use them in the background like they don't even exist. Other services required users to login to their own service (or create account) before continuing which was less than ideal and created a really broken flow for a user.
Plus like @samwillis also said, they are completely white-label, putting your sticker on it if you want, making it look like it came from you.
Lastly they were very easy to communicate with, answering questions quickly and even willing to help with creating different packaging.
Some time in the future I may print my own (may be more cost effective), but for the time being this is a great choice for me.
Yes, the charge for shipping is a flat rate of $3 to anywhere in the world. I also agree 50 cents is a bit high, I would like to get it down at some point. I am using a fulfillment provider and currently at the mercy of their costs (this is very convenient though). It sounds like since you print your own and have a large volume you can get the cost much lower. I think printing my own in the future may be an option and would lower my cost a lot.
It makes the photos you are tagged in available to print, I know for me at least, that most of those photos are not mine. And when I go to print some, I am printing photos from multiple friends. You can imagine how painful it would be to go to multiple people (especially if they are not your best friends) and ask them to find specific photos from some point in time and send them to you, then you still have to go and print them. In the end the photo quality maybe better but it would take much longer than a few minutes, if you even receive all the photos you want.
The older photos on Facebook are pretty low res, but they do now have higher res ones available and are the proper res for 4x6 prints, I believe they have had this since adding the full screen image viewer.
Yeah I really did hide the price down there hah, thanks for pointing that out! I think you nailed with what are the most important questions users will want answers to before going any further, and they would be easy enough to make more obvious on the landing page or before connecting with FB, I also completely forgot "how long?", which should definitely be added, thanks!
Yeah, actually one of the first things I would like to add to this version is the ability to send packages of photos to multiple friends, family, etc. Haven't thought about how to handle it when people don't know a friend's address (although very common I'm sure).
Didn't think of postcards, good thought!
I did think of making it possible to add text at one point, and I can print on the back, so definitely an option.
