First of all, your mom sounds awesome.

Second, thanks for the detailed thoughts!

Easy import of existing albums - We have that! find the album on GPhotos, select all and import. Check out how quick it is here: https://youtu.be/7gi58SuQ6Rk?si=Wk1wtDoPO5_DYWEV

Map and text blocks - These are currently not supported, but we're still considering different use cases and will add features to match the ones we focus on soon.

Videos - These are currently not supported but might be added soon. They pose some storage and pricing issues but we'll try to solve that. Again depending on the use case we end up pursuing

Longevity - This is a legitimate concern. Obviously we're hoping that this product keeps growing and plan to maintain it. Regardless - The north star of this product is to be fast and easy to set up. So we hope that the time investment won't be that big anyhow.

Pricing and Storage - We've just launched so the pricing plans will definitely change over time. We'll take that into account.

Syncing albums - Seamlessly syncing albums to online galleries was our dream. Unfortunately Google's API doesn't support that (for obvious security and privacy concerns).

We'd love for your mom to give our product a try and will be happy to give her a generous period of free usage of the premium plan for some of her feedback. If you're interested, please reach out at hey@myphotos.site.

Thanks again!

Or



Is it 1000 photos per album? Or is it max 1000 photos regardless of number of albums? If it is so, how does unlimited albums work in such case?


It's currently 1000 photos total that you can divide between as many albums you like.

But honestly we've just launched, so pricing and tiers might very well change as we discover what users want and are willing to pay for.
