isli.de takes off!
A few months back I wrote about a side project, “isli.de”
The general idea was to share pictures instantly. And I mean instantly. I wanted something so simple, that a single tap could take a picture, upload it, transmit it across the intertubes, and show up instantly an another device. Any device. No reloading necessary. When I tapped again, take and transmit another picture, forming a slideshow. Voila. Instant picture messaging, across phones and devices.
I wrote iSlide Camera back in April, finally breaking into the App store in June. It was free for a few months and then kicked up to $3.99 in September 2010. I left it alone. It made enough for a few nice dinners out.
Yesterday I logged in, changed it to free. Signups rocketed. I came home from a meeting today and my servers were swamped. Now I’m busy ramping up more EC2 instances. My favorite picture was taken a few hours ago, apparently by two guys who also like instant photos:
Dave and Saeid, thanks for making my day. Its time to dust off the code and integrate several features that iSlide obviously needs. Coming soon…!
