I can't remember the last time I printed a photo. It feels so retro. I have fascination with products that make digital things physical. Repostage allows you to easily print your Instagram photos. Printhug is an app for printing photos in your Dropbox. Woodpost prints your pics on wood. And there are dozens of other similarly unique user-generated, creative tools. I think my mom would love this. $8.99 is a steal.

@rrhoover I have the same fascination... check out my collection http://www.producthunt.com/@nirb... :)

@nirb NICE! I just featured it here.

@rrhoover Awesome! Thanks.

@rrhoover @nirb I just posted our 2nd service, so excited! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

This is super cool. The style and presentation is beautiful. So now for the questions - there are two use cases that I would love this for...1) printing pictures from a vacation (can you do alter the length of the book from the last month to the last week or 10 days)? 2) I would like to pick a topic (e.g. a person or a place) and do all pictures for the last year or multiple years?

@corleyh we've made it photo based not chronological. You'll always get 100, even if it crosses month timeframes. Helps to avoid end of month cut-offs.
Scott Valins
@corleyh and we'll be pulling from individual albums soon - knowing a lot of users self-curate on their own. Which would help with historical magazines/photos - aka: the NOT-so-recently...

Great idea for e.g. new parents.
Brandon Evans
Wow, love this. Kinda the anti-Snapchat giving some permanence to your memories. At this price and ease, I can see a lot of uses from parents/grandparents to couples and groups of friends.
Erik Dungan
Very cool. I'm a big fan of this space. I'm curious, do you have plans to filter out things like screenshots? I find myself and a lot of other people use their camera roll as a temporary store for things like that. I'd love a monthly magazine–but I'd rather it didn't include screen grabs of imessage threads and Instagram memes. Also added to my "Print Your Photos!" collection http://www.producthunt.com/@call...

@callmeed great call, don't know how I missed this comment. Definitely, more automagic to come. Right now we show you all, and make it a quick double tap to delete it -

First of all great app! beautiful and more important very (VERY) easy to use. Great execution guys! Second- I might have missed it but: 1) Is it just "the latest 100 photos"? Does it do some analysing, like filtering out screenshots or unrelated Whatsapp photos? 2) How does the magazine looks like? Just 100 pages with photo in each page in the same size? Am I able to design it or something? 3) Can't wait for the Android version =) Good luck!
Scott Valins
@shemag8 Thx! Great Qs. 1) We start w latest 100, gesture tap/drag to delete/edit. The more you nix, older ones fill in the slots. You always get the 100 in the grid in your magazine. Debating removing screenshots, already remove bursts. 2) Magazines are nor flimsy rags. 100# Mohawk Acid Free stock, with a seriously thick 100# cover. Our Co-founder is an award winning art director (publishing, Martha Stewart, Real Simple, etc...). Magazines are well designed and laid out automatically. Let us design it - it'll save you hours of frustration! That's the idea! 3) Soon, soon!

2 major things that stand out here: 1. Recently curates 100 recent photos for you 2. Editing is optional I love how frictionless this entire process is. @GetRecently -- How do you choose the best photos from my camera roll?
Scott Valins
@jackdweck thx for the kind words! Love your product, saw you at TNW NYC, 2013!
Scott Valins
@jackdweck we believe curating into manageable 'lots' of 100, and enabling quick reduction gestures - rather than addition methods - expedites the editing process of 1,000s in a camera roll. Automagic is forthcoming.

If we can get the founders to join, I would like to know if there are any plans to make the service available in Europe?
Scott Valins
@gekitz Europe is on its way. Launching local first!
Shalin Jain
Fantastic idea - always wished there was more consistent way to print picture books. Can't wait to get my first copy. Great pricing! How many years are the print going to last?
Scott Valins
@shalin10 these aren't flimsy mags, were using acid free, archival Mohawk heavy stock. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the heft...
Elise Ramsay
Not gonna lie, I think a magazine of all my accidental front-facing camera selfies would be pretty hilarious. Love this (for more reasons, but still)!
Scott Valins
@eliseramsay thx! Exactly - tangible social media.
Scott Valins
@eliseramsay it's like a tangible social media
Laura Roeder
Cool idea - being able to combine my phone and my husband's phone would be great for printing baby pics
Grace Chu Lee
can you merge both your husband's camera roll and yours?
Omri Aloni
I love the simplicity of this. Maybe I just missed this - but how exactly do you 'curate' the photos? Is it 'curation' if you're only showing me the last 100 pictures in my camera roll? I know for me this is usually 70% screenshots and pictures of my food. And if I'm going through the hassle of editing out pictures that I *don't* want there - why would I use Recently and not popular services such as Shutterfly where I'm given much more customization options in terms of how/what my photos come in (books, magazines, postcards, etc). How are you guys different?
Scott Valins
@omri_aloni If the curation isn't the main draw, maybe the one tap to publish is. 1200 photos printed w Shutterfly will cost you over $500 - and you have to lay them all out yourself. (Sometimes 1,000s of options are a bad thing) This is simplification on all sides. Built explicitly for mobile, where the photos start.
Aaran McGuire
Great price point.. Does that include P&P? I would also love this to come to the EU.
Scott Valins
@aaran_mcguire printing and post, yup!
Jordan Nemrow
Great idea @valinsscott! It is like having a yearbook after every month.
Scott Valins
@nemrow without having to lay anything out!
Dov Quint
@valinsscott @nirb, cc: @rrhoover - love all these services and products...makes it easy and fun to print again. We're doing the same thing in physical retail (www.photoandgo.com), offering a fun, differentiated experience around it. Good luck!
Scott Valins
@dgquint Cool!
Febril Cuevas
Damn this is amazing. Once it becomes available in Canada i'm on board!
Michael Mulvey
Great idea. I could totally use this.
Scott Valins
@combustion please do, interested in your thoughts...
Michael Mulvey
@valinsscott I'll check out your product in more detail tonight. I've ordered from Social Print Studio in the past. Similar approach to yours. Stay tuned for feedback. :-)
Orli Yakuel אורלי
I guess it's a U.S. only app? If so, any plans to go worldwide?
Scott Valins
@orli it is right now, but most definitely international soon!
Alex Greene
Fantastic! I think a yearly version would pique my interest more - ie. looking back at the year I spent with friends/family, but I'm not sure how that would be handled from an upload perspective.
Scott Valins
@alexg473 interesting. Upload would definitely hurt! Maybe we can offer a recap a year's end!
Cameron Smith
Available in Australia?

@cameronsmith hope so, have a lot of good friends down there.
