Oh gotcha. Yeah that's mainly for testing, but would be slow to use in practice since it's not behind a CDN. We'll probably start throttling that one, only for use on the homepage, but feel free to signup and use your own acc

Yep, we're actively building both url whitelists per Firesize account and url signing.

Oh yeah a default would be nice. Good idea. The image on the homepage isn't behind a CDN, but when you signup we give you a custom subdomain which is behind a CDN. Although the initial loading and resizing still takes a quick second, b

Oh nope, but that would be pretty sweet. I'll throw that in the queue of things to build next. We just grab whatever image you include in the url, so as long as the images in your S3 bucket are public, Firesize should be able to resize

Yep that's exactly why we built it. To be honest it's not overly complex to build yourself, but taking the time to get it right, setting up the CDN, and maintaining background workers can be pretty expensive when you factor in dev

Yep, but only for the MVP. Adding our own signup form is something we're working on. Send me an email at firesize@helpful.io and I can manually hook you up with an account though.

If you join during the beta, we'll grandfather you in to the free plan (no-limits). I should make that more clear on the homepage though. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm not sure if this is the best approach since I'm kinda rusty at front-end dev, but @Shea created some super slick, high-fidelity mockups for us. And then I just broke them down into a bootstrap theme and a few custom CS
