Mirror the preview from camera while making photo
Just flip horizontally the preview from the webcam when user trying to make selfie. It is much more intuitive to see your reflection instead of your face as it seems to the camera.

Probation period.
Give our messages a half-time probation. So, say I send a message 12 months into the future I can still read it for up to 6 months, and have until then to decided whether I want to change anything in it or cancel t completely. But, maybe let us only change the message once or something.

Send to siblings
what if we could send our letters to our younger siblings so that even when we have moved away, gone to college, or are no longer here, we can keep giving them advice and remind them they're important for years to come.

Because sometimes the timezone difference can alter the real arrival date.

Spam? Really now?
I received a spam email straight after using FutureMe! Apparently my non existent relative John has died. Keeping in mind I have never received a spam email until now. I think it would be great if you didn't send our emails to spammers.

[I realize there is a stigma against "suicide", but consider this as
learning
CPR...you won't use it on yourself, but only to help others; also,
those hurt by suicide seem to care less about others dying, as a
kind of
"pay-back"...overcome it if you have been hurt by someone's suicide
&
help out!]

For some of these ideas you don't think fit the spirit, simply force the user to decide before sending.
So I've seen a few ideas here about letting people view their messages before the specified date, or change the date, or edit the message, or cancel the message. On most of these, the reason you've decided against it is that you consider it "cheating" and think it goes against the spirit of futureme. That's valid, and for the most part I agree.
That said, I think you should still allow it, with the stipulation that the user must decide that they want to allow these things before they send it. Just have some radio buttons at the bottom and…

You should make an app
You should make an app so that users could add videos and photos straight from their phone's gallery...rather than having to download the pictures/videos onto a computer.

Matt and Jay are kept busy with their day jobs, which understandably prevents them from committing fully to FutureMe, so why not put the codebase up on Github for us to contribute to?

Display the total number of emails you've sent (group by month/year)
So we can see how many are scheduled to a specific month and we can better select a new date to send our next letter.
I rather have 1 mail per month than 12 in one month and none the rest of the year.3 votes
