Thanks for trying it out! This is the ecard site I wished existed for years...no spammy ads, and no confusing sign up where you don't really know how much it will cost, etc. The main incentive right now for creating an account is to be able to have all your cards in one place (on your profile) and be able to edit them.

Re: the Flickr images, all the images pulled in via the API are not edited, copied, or saved in any way on Card Karma. They are actually loading right from Flickr's CDNs. I've tried to get feedback from a number of Flickr photographers and a Flickr admin to make sure I'm inline with their terms, and so far it's not been a problem.

It took me forever! I went to school for Jazz Performance on the banjo, so I had to learn Django, working with AWS products, etc, as I built the app. See my comment below for more tech details.
