Congratulations to the team. I love Ink née Filepicker, it's easy to implement, robust and their support team (i.e. the dev team itself) is quick and very knowledgable. I would like to pay for the service but my volume is too low to exceed the limits of the free plan (too generous?).

Congrats on the funding–it's nice to know a service I use has some additional resources. (I usually take this as a sign the company will be around for the long haul, but that might be a bit presumptuous these days).

I'm using Filepicker at http://propx.co and we're already making money with it, which is great.

The company re-brand has me a bit confused though. The new identity definitely has a creative/design/art bent to it now. Why is that? (or am I just crazy?)

Great! Let us know how we can help.

With the new name and logo, we wanted a brand that could grow with us as we build out more products beyond just picking files. Also, as we invest more resources in the design and user experience of our products, we didn't want the logo to not match the quality of the rest of the design.

From the article:

"On mobile, release cycles are different from the web, screen sizes are smaller impacting the user interface design, plus versioning is an important area to address."

They're doing tools for mobile. Hence the rebrand.

My Objective-C isn't great, but I'm willing to dust it off to try out the new products.

(Personally, I'm going to still develop for the web mainly, though. And do mobile apps as more of a intellectual exercise/fun).

Quick note: I have a MacBook Air and the only thing I see above the fold is the photo and the signup button. There was no indicator that there's more content and I only discovered it by accident.

Same here. I've seen some single pages like this use a moving arrow pointing down, as a hint.

Mind sending a screenshot to brettcvz@inkmobility.com ? The content should be dynamically spaced to hint the text at the bottom of the page
