What are the most important features for you and your family's photos?

Probably the number one feature request for Kindo, over and above better deleting of profiles in the family tree, is for photos. We always knew that would come, so I’m pleased as punch to say that we’re working on it, and hope to release the first iteration of Kindo family photos soon.

That said, I would like to know if there are any specific photo features that Kindo users would like to see, apart from the usual features you’d find on any social service that enables you to store photos (creating and viewing albums, uploading photos to albums, commenting on both, tagging photos; are the basics).

For example, here are some ideas that have been flying around the Kindo office of late:

1. Send photo as digital postcard - imagine sending that photo of your wedding / family event to your family easily
2. Add to your favourites - imagine having a list of all your favourite photos of your family
3. Let people outside my family tree see my photos - imagine being able to allow your close friends to view your photos without them having to log in
4. Being able to crop/move/rotate photo’s - imagine being able to do stuff to your photos in the browser so they look better
5. Viewing some stats - imagine being able to see how many people viewed your albums / photos, and what photos are most popular

Anyways, these are just some ideas, and are pretty much influenced by what is already out there.

We’d like to build stuff that people will use a lot, and enjoy using, so it’s really important that we get some feedback from you guys to understand what’s really important to you!

So, please comments in this post - what do you want to see in a photos feature??
