> Your photo mess, solved.
I'd be pissed right now. Not solved, the company's out of business. This is why I won't sign up for another web service that isn't open source again. I'll gladly pay for hosting, but core technology must be libre.
This is different. It's pretty clear that the Everpix team worked hard to deliver the service they were selling, and in the end, failed.
I love(d) Everpix. It really did solve my photo mess, and their daily "flashbacks" were a welcome dose of nostalgia, delivered to my inbox every morning. There are other photo services that do similar things to Everpix, but none that can match their unique combination of pricing, ease of use and the brilliant flashbacks.
I'm sad that I lost a service I really really liked, but far from pissed off, at least at the company itself. They created an awesome service, and hopefully one that will soon be copied by a more financially stable successor.
Nonetheless, we're open source, hosted and a bunch of other things to try and make this problem suck a little less.
Here's the original Kickstarter from 2 years ago, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmathai/openphoto-a-phot...
Github repositories at https://github.com/photo
Hosted service now geared towards organizations at https://trovebox.com
There are really two sides to this coin. This kind of model works well for Wordpress with hosted and self hosted/open source(?) though.
