Isn't working for me right now...possibly server load? But great idea. I too would pay. And I second the suggestion for more diversity in the shots. E.g., I could use one right now in the hands of a Hispanic teen girl. In general, I would need more women.

Yes - try in a little while pls

Found it on HN on January and... Why it's free?! I would be glad to pay for each screenshot generated because saves plenty of time and simply makes presentations look way better. There is a channel (you already have it), there is a real problem to be solved and it's something people would pay... Sounds brilliant :)

I bet its free because now I know what breezi is, and I didn't before Jan. I agree this is an awesome service. I would shell out a few for it too.

We're keeping it free for now until we release a much larger library of imagery - at that point, we'll decide what makes the most sense.

Would be awesome if this had stages for industrial environments.

Give it a try now - and we'll add more women - thanks

I really want to share this with people, but it's horrendously slow. I uploaded a 2048 x 1536 image generated from my iPad, and it has been processing it for the past 10+ minutes.

edit: over 20 minutes now. I had to restart it.

I tried to drag and drop one of the images on top, but I get: We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

Should be good now

It is on HN frontpage, I bet that would be the primary reason why its so slow

Only Apple products there - why tailor to the minority? Globally Apple has around twenty-something percent of smartphones, thirty-something percent of tablets and ten-something percent of 'PC's'. You wouldn't suspect if you looked at the media though where it often is Apple or bust. I never understood this herd mentality and I still don't. People will start dropping Android screenshots in your iProducts, Xmonad runninng on Macs (OK, that is plausible but still...), Windows will suddenly magically run on more iProducts, etc.

Diversity is good. Apple is not very diverse. Why not add something else?

You didn't look far enough. There are Androids and Windows Phones / Tablets to the right.

Not working for me either, but I have to imagine the combination of image processing and HN front page isn't terribly kind to a webserver.
