24 alternatives to PicPocket – Dedicated 'chats' for photo-sharing (share to organize)

I built PicPocket because my photo gallery, which is largely an unstructured dataset, was already organized when I shared my photos with others. Namely, whenever I take photos on a trip/event/etc. with other people, I always end up sharing those photos with them on WhatsApp. This act of sharing implicitly 'tags' the people who were there, and organizes them into clusters of photos, but this effort isn't utilized. The point of PicPocket is to piggy-back on the effort of sharing, to simultaneously organize and store those photos.

Dead simple photo sharing▲41
Hi all, about a month ago my wife was complaining about how annoying all of the photo sharing services were. Either the UI was overly complicated or it would ask people to register for the service before they could view the photos, etc. So I decided to build something dead-simple that she could use. There are no frills. You just create an album and email it around. The link goes directly to the photos. It's not fancy at all (very utilitarian), but she appreciates it, so I thought I'd launch it as a full service and share it with people. It's called SimpleNeat…
