This is my startup MVP software. Please test it out and let me know what you think.

Seems fast and does a good job, but doesn't appear to support https sites?

What makes it better than the alternatives, or (as this is MVP) what is your plan to make it different/better? A company I use (http://xbrow.se/) is relatively feature complete and offers a wide variety of different browser choices, do you plan something similar?

You are right, I just noticed that too.

After the traffic slows I'll add https support thanks for the heads up! 104 concurrent users right now.

We have huge plans for linkpeek. First step is getting the word out.

I hope to give better support then the other alternatives. I've used a few and found that there was a hole in the market for this type of service.

We want to have a killer api and become integrated into web applications. I want to bring google "instant preview" to anyone who wants it.

When I went to this site it showed a thumbnail for YouPorn on the right. Maybe not a good idea to show the most recent thumbnails generated!

Useful service though. I had a need for this a year or so ago.

Yeah, sorry about that. I hope nobody gets flagged for NSFW.

I'll have to rethink the recent image on the right.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you need this service for a year ago? I'm still trying to fit the proper market.

You don't need the most up to date 'recent images'. Toss them in a folder for manual review, and check a couple once an hour, or even less frequently.

Or crowdsource image reviews
