I can't imagine using this over reddpics. Their tiled interface allows me to browse posts faster than the normal reddit interface. This in contrast feels slower than either, since you can only see a single image at a time.

I personally use http://pics.fefoo.com/, and I see two points of improvement for Mongout:

* Title is below the picture, so now you see the image, check the title and have to look up again: reverse this title/image order.

* I' missing a reddit upvote/downvote embed, now I can't rate the pictures.

I'm surprised you aren't getting more love on this one. I've already added the site to my bookmarks bar. I love reddit primarily for the images.

Usually my browsing of reddit is done like this.

1. Click homepage.

2. Determine which links are images.

3. Click image link

4. Chuckle, or shrug

5. Two finger swipe back on my trackpad on lion

6. Scroll

7. Repeat 2 - 6

Now its

1. Go to Mongout 2. Click right 3. Repeat 2 ... again and again

I'm also a big fan of the progress bar. If there was no bar I'd feel ungrounded in the infinite space of reddit. Additionally, because its so addicting to look at reddit images, I can say to myself "I'll look at enough images that fills one progress bar"

Its super simple, and really well executed. Big time props!

Sorry, clicking next, and waiting 5 seconds before seeing the next image is not what I'm after.

Weird. You only posted two minutes ago, but our experiences seem to have been much different as it loaded the next images instantly for me. The only delay was for comment pages, but that's to be expected.
