Ask HN: Please help me figure out what to do with my website

I originally intended it to be a web app for real estate professionals to share and discuss photos of real estate. Of the few i showed it to seem turned off by it. And i feel thats largely due to them being too old and out of the technology loop.

Could i repurpose the app to give it more appeal to a wider audience?

Please help me brainstorm. Thank you!

Allow people to see how it works without forcing them to register.

demo account with some royalty-free pictures would be good

Yeah... photoshopping a UI onto a picture of a smartphone tells me exactly nothing useful about the product. Opening it up a bit would be a good idea.

Also he's generating a few Symfony exceptions he might want to take a look at - this should probably fail to the homepage for instance http://www.cribzy.com/comment/new

Also, a note - I have no idea what your site is about from reading the front page, that might be a red flag... It seems like simply a picasa clone, essentially something to store picture albums, but that's it? How would I know it's targeted towards real estate?
