Marissa Mayer's new startup, Sunshine, has introduced Shine, an innovative app designed to revolutionize the way people share photos and organize events such as parties, weddings, birthdays, backyard BBQs, and conferences. Available for free on iOS, Shine offers features such as easy and intuitive group photo sharing, AI-driven photo curation, suggested albums, and seamless sharing options through album codes, links, or QR codes. Despite the excitement, some users have found the user experience (UX) confusing, highlighting the challenges of introducing new apps in the crowded photo sharing space. Shine also targets an underserved demographic, people over 50, acknowledging their significance and identifying them as the wealthiest demographic in America. The app has received mixed reactions from the internet, with some praising Mayer for her innovative approach and others questioning the app's utility and user-friendliness.

I love Marissa Mayer. She could have done anything after making millions from Yahoo but instead she chose to just vibe with friends and build some lil consumer apps that remind of us the golden days of the internet. Respect
Marissa Mayer back in the trenches promoting her extremely v1 app is honestly so refreshing. This shit ain’t easy, even for accomplished execs.
Congrats @marissamayer - looks great ! Excited to try it out... https://t.co/VpLKJ8F8VB
Photo or Media sharing is still painful in 2024! Additionally, what is useful as a user is the ability to get the best clicks without having to manually sort through the whole pile especially when you click from multiple devices. -I don't want to share photos on Google Photos… https://t.co/VJeeDkY7M4
Marissa Mayer seems to be making apps for an underserved demographic with tech startups — people over 50. Also the wealthiest demographic in America.

And, because special photos are taken at parties, weddings, birthdays, backyard BBQs, conferences, Shine by @sunshine also does events. Available free at https://t.co/StDXCkmXbD, organize your event with photo sharing built in right from the start. (1/8)
Marissa Mayer is building apps that I often tell people not to- in this case photo sharing. I downloaded it and found the UX very confusing. Photo sharing should be easier, hard for a 3rd party; even as an early adopter I wouldn’t ask friends at an event to use this app. https://t.co/QRBPmDj918
And here's a video on how Shine's photo sharing works. @Sunshine https://t.co/p5FifLrs4o https://t.co/VkBHi0O83r
