@momciloo Ahh you got me! Got to slowly make my way to the 100/100 version over time so as not to stun my friends with my sheer professionalism ;) Thanks for the kind comments :D

Totally impressed by the speed and accuracy in recognizing all face features. More so on the profoundly detailed feedback and improvement suggestions. Way to go team!

Also love how you guys are using this free tool to market your photography service - reminded me of Hubspot's marketing strategy. Very smart!
@edricsub Thanks Edric, very kind! There were two cool free tools (both non-photographic) that gave us a bit of inspiration at the outset: TestMySite by thinkWithGoogle, and WordStream's free AdWords performance report: https://testmysite.thinkwithgoog...http://www.wordstream.com/ Would be grateful if you could share the analyzer with everyone at Vopo and Twitter :)
Matt and Ed presented Snappr at a Product Hunt Sydney event. Back then, they demoed the main photographer-customers march making mechanism of the app. Utilising a photo analysing AI tool to tell you how effective your headshot is, takes off a lot guess work, which is great.
I wonder what principles the analyser uses to draw its conclusions (just in general terms)?
All in all, great product and value add, and hopefully you can demo it at a future phsyd event.
@elbahnasy Thanks Iz! As far as general principles, the focus was on things that drive perceptions of professionalism. The analyzer steers clear of things that we don't have the ability to change.
Slick interface. I like how the categories are broken down with 3 simple criteria - fewer or more would be less convincing.
Though this is clearly not the purpose of the app, I would be wary about what perceptions are used as truth in the model. In the wrong hands (for instance a tool like this on the hiring side instead of the individual side) could carry out existing biases.
@ggnall Hi Graham, thanks for the kind comment + thoughtful insight. I guess the analyzer is helping to bring some of our unconscious biases to the surface, which I think is always a good thing!

With so much vanity in the world this is a super smart, low friction way to connect social networks together.. great idea guys! I can imagine the first brainstorm session.. "how do we make Face Mash 2.0?" haha
@arlogilbert Hey Arlo - you make an interesting point. The way we look at it is that Linkedin is just a virtual way for us all to engage and communicate with each other. Some photos are better than others in how they help build a human relationship via the digital platform, and that's what we are trying to help out with!

This is awesome! I've always been curious if my slightly weird profile picture is keeping me from getting jobs. However my photo score was "N/A".
@emccoy Hey Evan, thanks for the feedback! The issue with your pic is that the analyzer was not able to detect your face in the image (we found your linkedin pic and ran it through to debug). Try cropping closer onto your face for a result, or try a different image.

Love, love the idea of making this a part of an upsell to a pro photographer.
@tarungangwani That's awesome!! Sometimes the fixes are so easy (but not necessarily intuitive) which is good. Always good to avoid a reshoot if possible! Thanks from the Snappr crew for the comment :)
@theleovogel Servers seem to be coping with the load ok, so if it keeps happening its probably something else. If you PM me your photo link I'll test it out and send you the result :)
