#32This looks great. I've been having one heck of a time trying to get good screenshots lately. It takes up a lot of my time. I'm really interested in your service, but for whatever reason when I punch in a url it won't render a screenshot. It just hangs on the ajax spinner.

#33This is a great idea. I was actually working on something similar yesterday! The beauty of this is that it has so many uses! I think all the haters need to chill and think about this for a minute. Yeah, it's probably a wrapper around webkit2png but outside of HN people... 1. Don't know how to use the terminal 2. Can't install webkit2png themselves (there are a lot of things that can go wrong - just ask me because the…
Issue is that it isn't unique, there's other players like http://blitline.com/docs/blitshot. They are also a lot more expensive.

#34So, this is a web based API wrapped around webkit2png starting from 9.99 a month?
A year of urlbox would be $120.
Suppose Sue Webdev bills at $60/hr. and needs something like this for a clients website. She's never heard of webkit2png before, not sure if she has PyObjC 1.1 installed and can't seem to find installation instructions for Windows.
Will Sue be able to create her own urlbox clone in two hours?

#35While there appear to be a number of sites operating in this space (documented some here: http://web.onassar.com/blog/2012/11/19/web-based-screenshot-...), this looks simple and straight-forward. While the cost is prohibitive for me since there are free alternatives (http://immediatenet.com/), it's great to see more competition in this space.
For what it's worth, I'm using it on my site http://imnosy.com

Also, how do you access a site behind a login wall?

#38That thing where it says "web font support" apparently means the opposite, I'm afraid.

#39The webpage does not work in Opera. The top image with search is missing and the bottom ones are just empty image tags.
It just sits and spins for me in firefox too - maybe it is too overloaded at the moment.
(I did wonder if it was because the sites I tested it with were IPv6 only, but even IPv4 sites are doing nothing.)

#40I played around with the sign-up form because I'm designing something similar at the moment.
Once I get a "username not valid" error, I can't re-enable the submit-button anymore. You might want to fix that.
Also I don't think that the username was already in use, because I entered a random email. Probably a validation error.
To say something positive: I like that the headline changes the last word periodically. That caught my attention.
