Discovering a need often begins with a personal experience. For me, it was after my basic military training when my mom eagerly wanted to see my photos. I subscribed to "WebGuy," our paid photo album, only to find myself sifting through 70,000 photos from the two-month training. A week of endless scrolling yielded just 9 photos of myself. I initially created a prototype named "FaceGuy" but didn't pursue it further, distracted by other academic and technical endeavors. However, a conversation with my friend Noah reignited my interest. He reminded me of the broader application of this solution – from event organizers to marathon runners and corporate events. "You can be the next Flickr", he said. The real turning point was presenting "FaceGuy" at the Jean Bartik Computing Symposium, where it was received with enthusiasm and won the "People's Choice Award" in the conference, validating the need for such a platform. So I rebranded to a more inclusive and gen-Z friendly name, "gitit". Short for the slang "Let's getit". And started going all in on building "gitit" – a platform tailored to redefine community memories.

Great landing page ! Very smooth and conveys the goal well. Those rewards you mentioned are social proof and should be added there as well! Definitely mention them in a blog to increase your site's discoverability by SEO.
