Everpix had incredible potential , ground in some great idea . It want to make your pic collection useful . From an interface perspective , the pilotage was smooth and dynamic , make water it gentle to browse and scroll through large number of photos . On the technology side , the caller was creating icon processing algorithmic program to help identify what was in your photos so it could intelligently group capacity , and surface the stuff that was most interesting .
Everpix ’s ambitions were huge , and it would be an exaggeration to say it achieved what it set out to . Everpix never whole succeeded in helping me actually savour my pictures . It never convinced me that I did n’t need data file on my computer or my phone , and I only seldom turn to it when I was take care for something . In the end , it was fundamentally a Dropbox - like archive for all my photos — an extra backup , just in grammatical case .
The company planned to make money by selling subscriptions , but the gross was only barely trickling in , even as the servicewas hosting some 400 million photosat an enormous cost . And so , we ’ll never know what Everpix could have become . The ideas are still could , so let ’s hope somebody with a good business programme ( or at least more startup capital ) picks up where Everpix left off .
