Hi product hunters! 👋 Jean from the Sunday team here.
We (@laurent_chenay and me, 2 engineers from Belgium and France) started working on mobile photo apps 2 years ago. Our initial idea had little to do with this app: it was really focused on helping families share photos of kids. That idea was not bad per se, but when talking to our early adopters we found that a bigger pain was that their photographic memories (with family but also close friends) were scattered in many different places. Our parents send us attachments, our siblings send us shared folders from their favorite cloud, friends make shared albums with Picasa/Google Photos or tag us on Facebook...
We quickly realised that most people (even computer-savvy!) had photos in several places, and while these are theoretically accessible, in practice, they are never enjoyed again. We did a private alpha with just a read-only web app that scanned Gmail for forgotten photos & Picasa links, and the feedback from our friends was encouraging: there seemed to be a big reservoir of happiness, scattered all over our digital lives. So we re-built Sunday from scratch as a photo gallery that would take care of this problem once and for all by gathering all the photos we have in one combined gallery.
Sunday now connects to 11 photo storage/sharing services like Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Dropbox, OneDrive, Foursquare… then takes care of detecting duplicates across services and presents all your photos in a fast, simple photo gallery.
This is our first mobile app — we hope you enjoy rediscovering forgotten photos with it and we’re really excited to hear your questions, feedback, and ideas here!
