I think url2png is really cool, but I was a bit pissed when from one day to the next they went to a subscription model and added sign-up links to all screenshots. Their fair right, of course, but no fun if you just started using it.

I have been using the service for over 3 months and I remember telling the founder I would pay for it. Well. looks like I am going to send my check now :). Gladly.

Can we have a place that lists all the HN related sites? Or maybe PG can create such a page and link it at the top/bottom. That would be useful instead of them getting lost in the old posts and people who haven't seen the posts missing them.

http://hnresources.com/ is one.

A little competition for http://hn.embed.ly ? Heh. We think rich data makes much better previews then screenshots. What does HN think about this site vs. hn.embed.ly?

I think this would benefit greatly from some sort of collapse feature. The nice thing about browsing titles-only ("vanilla") HN is that things that I don't want to read take up very minimal screen space. With this, I had to work too hard to scroll past this entry: http://i.imgur.com/Z9t67.png

You can navigate using keyboard (j/k).
