On a recent Gatorade project, we built out individual profile pages for new Gatorade Players of the Year. With 600+ winners each year, content curation requires scalability. So we built a nifty form for the winners to use themselves.
Winners upload two photos, from either their computer or their social channels, along with some information about their athletic background.
From a development perspective, uploading an image directly from a user's computer is a lot more straightforward than leveraging social channels. However, many users have photos in Facebook and Instagram, and if we can simplify the upload process from manually finding the image, saving it, then uploading it (tedious and requires some page hopping), to login and click on your picture (doesn't leave the page), by all means we should.
