Great Idea! I could send photos this way to my parents. good job!

Glad you like it! And thank you very much. The "send photos to parents" is definitely a top use-case so far.

This is a great use case. My sister-in-law gave her mom her Facebook account login so she can see pictures of the grandkids without having to sign up for a Facebook account.

This would be so much better.

Oh yikes. Giving someone else your login, even a trusted family member, sounds rickety. Yes, let her know that PicDigest exists. :)

couldn't you just email them the photos and bypass another process altogether? We're just coming full circle. email photos to friends, facebook post, now back to email photos to friends because facebook's not adding any value.

Email is the endgame. Right now, the natural flow for millions is to post photos to Instagram or Facebook. PicDigest fits that flow without any other steps.

The next major iteration of PicDigest will bypass both posting to social networks AND the step of sending photos by email. It'll change the world!!! [insert evil laugh]
