1. Yes, its usable without Facebook. Sign up on the site and you can upload media directly (or email them in).

2. No limit on how much you can upload at the moment. This might bite me in the ass later but if anything changes, there'll be a grandfathering in of older accounts.

3. You set up a password for your timeline. This is then shared automatically with "subscribers" that you add to your account. They will get notified (via email) when you post anything and can click through this email and never

4. Great question. Currently the plan is making money on prints (a PicPlum like service - printing of photos and mailing to family members). I may also introduce a premium version with more storage.

Would love to get your thoughts on the revenue ideas. And great questions - I should spell some of this out on the landing page more.

So as for question 3... one password? So anyone who has access could log in as anyone else who has access using their email and the same password, right? Also, do they need the password when clicking from an email or is there a special link there that lets them bypass password entry? If the latter, how long do those links last?

I don't mean to pry too much into implementation details, but I am very selective about what I share, so it's important to me.

Yup, one password that they need to use to login, along with the email address that you've whitelisted for them. So its possible that someone could guess the password and their email address to get unauthorized access. I've debated a lot on this one and from the many parents I spoke to, this seemed to be a good middle ground between having some security and keeping it simple for family members to use.

The links in the emails have a special link that unique to each subscribers. These links at the moment do not expire but thats something I'm changing soon. All the images in the emails expire after a week.

I wrote a blog post on how I handle security on the app: http://blog.getbabydigest.com/post/88405261016/privacy-and-s...
