My wife managed to find an application that has worked fantastically for us; FamilyAlbum. We're able to invite family members to it, whenever we upload pictures or video those who have been invited and installed the app get a notification so they can check. Source: over 1 year ago

I’m looking at options for sharing photos with family and close friends that’s not social media as my husband and I would like to limit the amount of exposure of our soon-to-arrive baby. I found the Family Album app (https://family-album.com). I like the privacy features — though I realize they can change their policies at any point. Has any one else used it? Do you like it? Have you had any issues with it? Can... Source: over 1 year ago

Neither of us have social media besides Reddit to begin with. However, with our families scattered all over the place, we were finding text chains were getting unwieldy. We use FamilyAlbum now and couldn't be happier with it. Very private, easy to use for the grandparents, and they make adorable highlight reel movies. It's a great alternative to Facebook or Instagram. Source: almost 2 years ago

Hey, maybe not with MIL, but if there are people you trust not to be garbage and want to share photos with, this is what we use. It’s invitation only, and you can revoke access at any time. We can control who has access (we just allow family and closest of friends), whether they can download images (they can’t), and choose whether or not to allow comments on photos (we chose not to, so only my husband and I can...

I'd say start searching now because you never know what you'll be able to find, try apartments.com, Facebook Marketplace, maybe Craigslist if you're brave, and I found a site called roomies.com where you can find rooms and connect with like minded people also searching. I found my place quick; My employer let me know I got the job around 2 weeks before the start date, I found my current place within a week on... Source: 6 months ago

Even if you aren't renting, I'd look for places using apartments.com commute distance feature. All roads in NJ are not created equal. You'll be able to live much further(cheaper, prettier, more space) the further south or west you go, and more than likely 95 or 80 will serve you better than the Garden State Parkway, Route 1, 9, 18, 27, 130.

If you aren't local, try places like zillow, apartments.com, rentcollegepads, or google places like JSM, MHM, Smile, Green Street Realty, University Group, Roland, Bankier, Ramshaw, etc. Source: 6 months ago

You have the budget to afford one of those luxury buildings. There aren't many (any?) in Somerville like that, I think it's due to permits/regulations or something. But if you up your budget filters on apartments.com you could still find something in Somerville with off street parking included. Source: 6 months ago

I always found hidden gems on Craigslist. People shit on it all the time but I preferred it over apartments.com and the like. No b/s, just pay the owner a flat fee monthly. Source: 6 months ago
