App design ideas?

Knowing that my app is similar to an app called Instagram where you can post pictures and videos where your friends or family can follow, depending if you have your account set to private. I was looking at the design of how its set up, but the picture above is different to how it looks on a iPhone. But the main log in page looks really nice and I want to create a simple log in page for my app.
Another similar layout design I love is Tumblr, it has very similar posting options such as text, photos, quote and video. On tumblr you are able to heart it, reblog to your account or post a comment. With “My Life & Me” app being able to comment and like a photo, video, quote or text will be an option. One thing I really like about the layout of the Tumblr app is the friendly and simplistic look to the icons.
Using a calendar will be the main area of the app, being able to see the process of the child’s life helps the person who is in charge of the account remember to fill it out every day.
Creative pictures like this of someones child is becoming more popular recently, this also could be an option for parents to post on the app.

I had the initial idea of trying to create the actual app, but I may actually just create some mock ups of the app and create the website to explain the app a little more?
I like the idea of a scrolling website, making it a little more interactive. I started to look at how to create scrolling websites and came across some tutorials.

I may be running an App design / creation workshop (using XCode) just gauging numbers before a decision on when and if happening.
If you go down the MUSE website route you can package the site as a HTML then use a service such as http://phonegap.com to turn it into a mobile app built off the html provided.
Look into MUSE it is a lot easier than Dreamweaver and part of the Adobe suite, if you want to make a app proof of concept I.e. Interactive demo I am looking into trying to run a workshop IF I can get enough interest. I would say in terms of creating a working demo a website in MUSE would be quicker and requires a lot less coding.
