Stripe's awesome. I'm in YC's startup school and used Stripe Atlas to incorporate. I got an email from Stripe, sharing an opportunity to post your landing page and get feedback from Stripe's design team. That Friday I got an awesome teardown from Stripe's design team. The page (https://nanagram.co) still has quite a ways to go, but I incorporated most of their feedback and I'm super happy with it. Another cool thing — Through the grapevine I found out Patrick mentioned NanaGram at an all-hands meeting. I sent him a quick email to say thanks for the mention, not expecting a reply whatsoever, and within a few hours he responded. Stripe's kind of mind-blowing in their ability to not only build a great product but also to serve the community and be human.

One minor nitpick - just tried to sign up, and if I was a USA user, then your page would have unhidden the pricing buttons. but as I was UK user, it did not unhide anything (not even a sorry!). As such i was left with the default waitlist boxes, and was confused as to whether I was signing up or not.

(it's possible it did unhide the sorry, but it was not clear on the smaller screen... maybe a splash of colour? Perhaps "Sorry based on your selections above we don't yet offer the service in your country - sign up below for notifications." You kind of do say that but like I said confused)

Anyway it looks a great service, and I am now on the wait list

Thanks so much for your feedback. I just deployed the new US-to-international plans earlier today and haven't had a chance to user test it yet. That experience is totally not the best right now. I'm working on a full-on international release. I'll be reaching out to you to try and convince you to do a user study in exchange for free photos and aim to release mid-late next week.
