Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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

I think he meant propx rather than ink mobility.

Hopefully this seed round can send a developer in that direction.

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.

I experience the same on a 15" Mac Book Pro running Chrome when I show the bookmarks bar and have recently completed a download.

Speaking of which, you can now find us on github at https://github.com/ink

I think Ink/Filepicker is pretty awesome and I set up a demo recently of a user submitted gallery in under an an hour. The one thing I don't like is that the Image URLs are supplied only as filepicker.io/api/(your-image). It makes sense when processing images to crop etc but if I store URLs in my application, I want to store them with the real URL, not get locked in to Ink/Filepicker. I can't find anything in their documentation that allows that. It's the only thing really preventing me from fully integrating with one of my projects right now.
