Although I read about the supply chain bottlenecks, I don't feel like it's impacted me yet. In fact it feels like there are more "Same Day" options than ever before (Amazon specifi…

Is there only one transform option, or could you offer several? That might be a good way of satisfying those who want a very fancy looking image to others who want specific functio…

Help centers, along with "self-service knowledgebases", are just ways of making it harder to find the contact us page.

I agree that SEO has made it harder and harder to find good content on the internet. I don't agree with Google being blamed for this. They're trying desperately to fix the problem.…

For the mathematically disinclined (such as myself), the total savings are at least $229/mo .. not bad! Curious if you could use Cloudformation to provision these instances and set…
