Saas app allowing Flickr users to create a portfolio site automatically and Charge for them via Paypal.

MVP Site:

www.flickrcommerce.com

More details:

We(agiliq.com/whoweare) built it over a period of 24 hours, for the Yahoo Hack Day, Bangalore event. All code for this is open sourced at http://github.com/agiliq/yahoo-hack-day-2010 . I cant think of licences so we can keep this opensource, but still keep a reasonable competitive advantage, so I am open to suggestion there as well.

I am looking for feedback mostly on the idea, as we have a lot to work for the site. (But it should be usable anyway).

API's used.

Flickr API with flickrpy Paypal Website standards payments (until we can get our Paypal app approved) Paypal adaptive payments.

Also this looks a very obvious idea to me, so I cant think of why this has not been done before. :)

(Also, if you have not looked at Paypal Adaptive Payments API, you should look at it. Its much saner than their older API, and allows some neat things like chained payments, which means you accept payments from a single user to a single user, and transparently split it, which means we can make a simple cost structure with percentage of Photos sold, without having an upfront charge.)
