Sachin’s Posterous

Looks awesome! Looking forward to a full client at some point in the future too...

Yipee !

I really like the look and feel of this app Sachin, but i have some things and ideas on my mind i want to share:

- pictures taken with PicPosterous are not saved in the iPhone picture folder (or linked there) so you I cannot sync them with iPhoto if i want to, right? All i can do is upload them to posterous. I have some i want to upload elsewhere.

- i wish the Cam feature inside PicPosterous would have a full screen shutter (tap anywhere to snap a pic), so i could delete some other cam apps

- i can only add one picture at a time to an album, right? When i start a new album and upload it, my readers get notified only seeing this one picture, and no text along with it. When i add new pics, no one will notice it because afaik there is no new notification?!

- adding new pics to albums is great, but i cannot delete pics from an album

- adding to sets/albums already on posterous is not possible i think

- sending pics to specific destinations would be great (on/off switches for all my destinations when uploading) not only all or nothing. I can do that by email but not from the app.

- when i heard you are working on an iPhone app i hoped for a better reading experience on the iPhone. Posterous is not only about publishing but also about reading my subscriptions - at least for me that is. There is no iPhone optimized layout to read posterous blogs, or is there? Probably you have that on your long list already. Just wanted to mention this cause you said "... There’s no reason to build an app just for the sake of having an app." I think there are indeed a couple ' reasons.

Don't get me wrong, i am not demanding anything, i just want to share my feature wishlist and ideas :)

I DO like this app, it just leaves some things open for me.

regards and thanks alot.

great feedback!

1. pics taken in picposterous ARE saved in the photo library
2. With iPhone 3.0, we are unable to (legally) do a tap anywhere shutter. It's allowed in 3.1, so we'll add it
3. Sure, but the idea here is if people see your site in the reader, rss feed, daily email, they will see everything at that point. If you dont want to update twitter right away, then dont until you are done
4. You can't do that on the web either :). i'll be adding this.
5. more autopost control makes sense

As for reading, you don't need an app for reading. But you do need an iphone optimized site that looks good in safari. and that's what we'll be doing soon

Yeah, I'm with Sascha. Do like the philosophy of PicPosterous & can get on board with it, but Posterous in general does need a better way to read (and scan/track) our subscriptions, and an iPhone app that did that, too, would be great! (plus a way to import/find our contacts from other social networks... *cough* FriendFeed *cough cough* ;)

thank you Sachin, the last thing is what i was hoping to hear ;)
but as for 1.) do they appear in the library only when you uploaded them? i took a shot without uploading, and it's not in the lib.

I have a problem with the App...
I shot 2 pics yesterday, and then deleted the Album again, because I didn´t know to which of my Posterous Sites the Pics will be added.
I have one Posterous for personal Pics/Vids and one for Blogging (the rest), which is my Default one.
There is no option to which of my Posterous Sites it get´s posted!
Now after i deleted the Album, there is still the line:
"2 photos taken on this phone will be imported to your DEFAULT Posterous site"!

Dieter, just log in to your account. Once you are logged in, the app will let you choose which site to make new albums on.

Ah! I see! I should have logged in, before I took the pics, so I can decide to which site the Album get´s uploaded!
Nevertheless, the 2 pics got uploaded to my default site, even as I have deleted them! (Also deleted them in the photo library).
So people really need to login first, before they do anything with the app!
Thanks!

love the app but there's one thing that i would love to see...
the ability to add comments to an album

also would love an iPhone optimized posterous site!

I can only add to the latest album, right?

hello :)

what about an Android app ?

@assbach Yeah, that's what I've been experiencing. Would be nice to be able to select which album to post to.

It also seems that PicPosterous only posts the first photo to places like Flickr when autoposting. Seems it's best to delay autoposting as a rule until all photos have been uploaded.

Is it possible to autopost at the end from PicPosterous? Or do you have to use the web interface for that? It seems to me that you need to go to the web site.

A Most Excellent App. I love it! Thanks Sachin!! A couple steps to publishing made even easier!! I checked Everyday for this App for a Week and a half --now it's here. Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks! I really love that it makes updating pic and video posts a Snap!

You do have to click "use" for it to get added to the library. again, that's an iphone sdk limitation. i don't get the image until you click "use" but this changes in 3.1

Did some more testing, which I've converted into a review here: http://post.ly/2V5w

Love the idea but all pics were on their sides, when I took them upright - and suggestions for changing them?

Hey Joan,

My pleasure - literally! ;->

Will an app be coming for the G1 (Android) phones?

That is so cool! I've already downloaded it

Oh cool, nice!

I though the posterous App will be more competing like Tumblr App, but it is a plain image uploader App, Hoping more.

I love the new PicPosterous icon. It's light and airy and conveys the feeling of a "camera in the cloud". That Kate must be a very clever girl.

I'd like to see an app that allows other kinds of uploads too, especially audio. I'd like to see an app that makes it possible to put audio and photos in the same post from the iPhone.

Way to go, Sachin!! Sounds brilliant and easy to use ....hope it's wildly successful:)
Great logo, Kate..good teamwork: design and cutting-edge product ( and besides, you're just too darn cute together!)

This is a great idea! I have wanted to build something very similar for myself for some time. There are a few kinks here and there, a few too many button presses for my taste but this is almost as good as it could be given the SDK limitations.

Thanks, now I don't have to manually email the photos I take :-)

A great App - congratulations! And a lovely icon too.

I have a feature I'd like to see in future updates - the ability to sign in to different accounts and then just toggle between them to choose where to post. I have different Posterous accounts (so they can autopost to different Twitter accounts) and at the moment I'd have to log out of one and into the other to do this.

I also like the audio-posting idea above, but I'd be quite happy if AudioBoo just added Posterous support to enable this.

Keep up the great work!

Great app indeed, but would be great for the next release to add pics description also and not only a title.

Re my comment above - AudioBoo already has Posterous support. Silly me. Anyway, that takes care of the audio posting from my iPhone for me.
