I like the initiative but find the pricing exorbitant.

Possibly interesting use case, yet overpriced with not enough granularity in budget line items. A lower price tag for initial experimentation and demo would make more sense. Nay.

I appreciate the vision here, but have concerns about timing, ask, and approach. Without a mobile component, widespread adoption seems unlikely. It’s also unclear what would motivate users to switch from platforms like Google Photos or OneDrive. A smaller ask tied to a clear use case and incentive strategy would be more compelling. I’m passing for now but open to future updates.

This proposal sits in a strange in-between place of being a technical showcase (of Polkadot ecosystem technologies) and a usable product. It seems pricey for both purposes - it would be great to focus on adoption (either developer adoption or user adoption) rather than just demonstration. That being said, the effort to bring adoption to Polkadot technologies is appreciated.

The products looks promising if it has its own business mode, but I don't think polkadot treasury should be an investor, and photo storage is not a infrastructure to polkadot.

The concept of the photo storage app is good, but we have some concerns about the budget allocation, which seems a bit high for this type of app. So we are undecided about our vote.
