<p>Hi guys, first off, full disclosure I am not a photographer but a software developer, I stumbled upon this thread while researching 500px. I have been actively developing www.salon.io a website builder specifically aimed at photographers, artist, and creative professionals. <br />Is this something you would consider using? I am asking because I wondering whether it would make sense to incorporate sharing and voting features in a product like this, on the one hand it is nice to have a completely stand alone portfolio and platform unencumbered by the pitfalls of popularity contests that you hinted at, on the other hand it is nice to engage with like minded people and receive feedback.<br />I would be very much obliged if you guys could share your thoughts.<br>
Cheers :)</p>
