Is there any purpose in having a sign-up? If you're already linked to the user's Facebook account, isn't this enough?

Is it not a one-to-one relationship between Portrit and FB account?

The UI for 'likes' is confusing. The icon seemed very foreign, and the whole idea of putting profile pictures of people who have liked the post on the right isn't intuitive either.

The login is it limit the amount of users. This is what the key is for. When we officially launch this will be removed.

I agree that the like icon could use some work. The idea behind showing profile pictures of likes instead of names is one of the main ideas of Portrit. We are trying to limit the amount of text and promote discovery that may not have happened if the name was shown. We will look into making this action more intuitive.

Thanks for the feedback.
