"This app is in region eu, firesize is only available in region us." Thats a shame. But is guess getting manually hooked up would work for this case too?

Oh yeah shoot me an email (firesize@helpful.io). We're working on making it available in other regions as well. Sorry about that.

#13Just so you know, Web of Trust gives firesize.com a "Very Poor" Trustworthiness and Child Safety rating. https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/firesize.com?utm_source=a...

Based on one comment in 2009, surely WOT needs a better algorithm for refreshing these ratings as time passes.

#15Is this really a problem painful enough that you need a SaaS?

#16Very similar to Cloudinary, though they have more advanced features as well. worth checking out IMO.

Depending on what you are building, yes. This can save a developer a good portion of a day between the code, file storage and CDN.

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 developer hours.

#19Great :), first impressions:
I've seen a few of these before and the things I remember I liked about them was the ability to provide a default image incase you cannot load the image.
Major kudos if you could do a g_face so you could center / crop around faces!
You say you provide a CDN and yet the images are loading slow under HackerNews weight. I guess the type of people who are going to use these aren't super concerned about being hammered!
Lastly the Heroku add-on, does that mean I can run your code on my Heroku instance instead of rely on your site? That would be fantastic!

#20Do you have a utility that lets me port over my named transformations from Cloudinary? Also, is there any way to pull images directly from an S3 bucket rather than from my Heroku instance?
