Redditers want a product, can we help connect the dots?


Hey HN-ers!

I came across this post on reddit where some are looking for an up-to-date Picasa equivalent. (It was killed.) I know lots of startuppers are looking for ideas, it seems there are at least some users who need this.

Is there a site where users can vote on ideas they need? I think I've seen one posted here some time ago but can't find it. Any ideas? Maybe we could help connect the dots..

ps - I'm in no way benefiting from this

There's a "Ask HN: What would you pay $10 per month for?" (or $100 or similar) question about once per week, usually few if any responses. Maybe the question is too broad or has simply been asked too often. The most traction recently was "Ask HN: Looking for side project ideas" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23290536

Picasa equivalent: "Ask HN: Personal photo library recommendations? Open source, browser-based" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19756110 might have hints.

Picasa's equivalent is Google Photos... Google folded it into their Photos service long ago, and it's quite nice (if you don't mind it being a Google service).

Lots of AI, automatic categorization, face recognition of who's in photos, location tagging, album generation, "This Day Last Year" (my favorite feature), slideshows, etc.
