@mikaelcho Congratulations Mikael, exciting to see where Unsplash is headed!
Ross Blankenship@rossblankenship · AngelKings.com, CEO and Partner
@mikaelcho, @unsplash what an awesome update! The widespread adoption, and evolution of the Unsplash product, proves that putting the community first and building an ecosystem should still be top priority for any startup. Look forward to seeing what the future will bring for the Crew.
Milan Vuckovic@miksabre · Senior Designer at Folkmatic
@mikaelcho I love this! Been using Unsplash since the very beginning and it's so cool seeing the product evolve in the right direction!
Andie Katschthaler@thegrumpygirl · Founder, Grumpy Girl Communications
@mikaelcho Love this update! Collections will allow me keep images I might be able to use later in one place instead of saving them like a maniac to my hard drive :)
Philip Amour@philipamour · Freelance Product Designer
@mikaelcho Congrats to you and everyone at Crew! Happy to be part of the platform. 4.0 feels pretty solid. I use Unsplash on a daily basis to discover great photographers, find high quality photos to use as Mac wallpapers or just drop them in my mockups.

@mikaelcho huge fan! congrats on the 4.0 release!
Chris Calmeyn@calc · Co-founder of Scout
@mikaelcho, @lukechesser, Well done. As someone who uses Unsplash often I love how you're consistently pushing substantive improvements. The addition of "likes" will be great for my workflow, while I'm curious to see how collections evolve. On the search front, when I'm hunting for photos I tend to think in terms of phrases (i.e. "talking with friends") … See more

@mikaelcho great product, been fan of Unsplash for years now! I was wondering why you just implemented Facebook social login, allowed e-mail but skipped Twitter/ G+? Based on my experience TW/G+ generate more logins than setting up an account "from scratch" so to say.
Chris Messina@chrismessina · 🏆 PH Community Member of the Year!
@mikaelcho congrats! What an epic release! This is how to launch a new version of @ProductHunt!
Luke Chesser@lukechesser · Co-founder Crew & Unsplash
@calc @mikaelcho thanks Chris :) That's a great question. I don't think you're an outlier — that's the most natural way to search for something — that's how I use Google Image search. The majority of Unsplash searches are for single keywords, but since phrases don't return a lot of results, users are probably conditioned to search for single keywords. Ther… See more

@mikaelcho Congrats on this new release. I've been following Unsplash from the beginning and am loving how it's evolving. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you and your team show every day!
Darren Davis@darrenwdavis · Chief Coffee Drinker at LinkCaffeine
@mikaelcho Congrats!!! Such a big fan of Unsplash – it's the best resource online for free, hi-quality photos :)
Neil Sandhu@neilsandhu · Founder and CEO, Hire.Bid
@mikaelcho thanks for this. Unsplash is an invaluable resource for startups. Prior to finding Unsplash in 2014, I had literally spent countless hours looking online for non-cheesy stock photos, which was an impossible task.
Thanasis@tnsrig · UI/UX @travelplanet24 @airtickets_gr
@mikaelcho @unsplash That's amazing news the best stock service on the internet just got even more unreal! Awesome work!
Irving Torres@irvingtorresyc · Freelance Designer
Pexels, Unsplash, and Death to The Stock Photo are all near and dear to my heart. Keep up the great work! It makes jobs for us designers so much easier! Excited for these new Unsplash features!
yoav hornung@yoavush · Co-founder & CEO, Veed.me. + Coverr.co
@mikaelcho These are great news and it's inspiring to see the great impact and use of something that started as a side project. You already know how you guys inspired us in building successful side projects, so - with there was a reaction here other than "upvote" because then I'd use the "WoW" one. Keep it up. my first collection is up!

Solid update Mikael! Love how often you keep improving this free resource. I know Crew promote transparency (with Backstage blog etc.) but can't seem to find anything on Unsplash server costs since moving away from Tumblr? Can you please link me to the reference or share something on it. Unsplash must absolutely burn through bandwidth and it's fast too.
Luke Chesser@lukechesser · Co-founder Crew & Unsplash
@hitdelete hey Rob, thanks for the love :) Great question. I'm actually just working on a post where we share our server costs, so this is a perfect chance to share an early version of that. We're also going to be working over the next few months to open up all of our metrics that we track so that anyone can watch how Unsplash and the community around it gr… See more

@lukechesser great insight Luke, exactly what I was after, thank you. Look forward to the full post and real time metrics!
Asbjørn Andersen@batteryless · Founder, madmarkedet.dk
@lukechesser @hitdelete thanks for this awesome service. Been using it since the start! One thing that I'm interested in. How are you covering the costs? In which ways do you plan on making money from it? If you don't mind me asking :)
Luke Chesser@lukechesser · Co-founder Crew & Unsplash
@batteryless @hitdelete thanks Asbjørn :) Right now the simple link at the top of Unsplash to Crew provides referrals to cover costs. @mikaelcho has written about it in the past here: http://blog.crew.co/how-side-pro...

@lukechesser @mikaelcho I can't believe I've never read this blogpost before. Love this clear written, awesome story of how Unsplash sprung into existence!
Miguel Nicer@miguelnicer · Cofounder Pintiplan
Great resource!!
Jamie Hancock@wisperemattress · Co-Founder at Wispere
Just took a quick look awesome site, love what you have done.
Shlomi Zadok@shlomizadok
Awesome! Exactly what we at KoZo were looking for. Thanks :)
Wo King@mywoisme · CEO, Hi9
What a great idea. Our startup is struggling to afford all the images we need so this resource could not of come at a better time. Thank you for all your work. We have a lot of images we can upload which we will contribute.
Damir Dulic@ddulic92 · DevOps Engineer @ ICBTech

Unsplash is a great website, I use every week to my projects. I love nature photos and it's one of the best sources to get them (for free YAY!). Stay awesome. 😄✌

@mikaelcho you guys rock! I've been using Unplash in my presentations for one year now and since then everybody praise my PPTs. You deserve all the success!
Ross Crooks@rtcrooks · CCO, Visage

Upvoting because this product helped me so, so many times in my web design days. Thanks @mikaelcho!
Jaron Soh@jaronsjr · Co-Founder, Artisan and Fox
Love the site - very intuitive design! I've been a big fan of Unsplash from its beginning, and I have shared it with many peers who just can't afford stock photos yet. Thank you for the great work. It's great to see how far the site has progressed and how the collections have expanded.
