Thanks for your feedback!

It's only an experiment right now, so it's not built for anything specific at this point. There are some interesting ways to take it, but I wanted to see how it was used first. As you suggest, the ability to a further curate through the website would be great. One idea is some kind of stock photography site with users receiving a cut?

The frontend definitely needs polish and some architecture upgrades, as you pointed out. I wanted to see if anyone actually used it before putting more time in, but the feedback today has been encouraging.

As for anonymity, it's anonymous between users, but some basic Twilio data (phone number, city, state) is stored with your user account on my end.

As for attacks, Twilio provides some high level security, but beyond that I'm sure I could easily be hosed if someone were inclined. It's a hobby project, so the resources would fail pretty quickly under a sustained attack, and what fun is that?

Thanks for taking a look and the time to provide your thoughts.
