Show HN: My sideproject - The javascript is free, but the backend will cost you.
Hi all, My side project, an online image watermarking app, is ready to start showing people, so I'd appreciate your feedback.<p>http://www.watermarquee.com<p>The free version is entirely client-side javascript. If there is a good response, I plan to develop the backend to support larger images and additional file types, as well as some other functionality. Since the free version is completely client-side, I can easily host if on Heroku's Varnish cache, which makes this an easy/cheap MVP to try out. Please let me know what you think.
Great idea!
My two cents: make the homepage much easier. An example could be a big button that says "click here to watermark your own image for free". Another example could be less text - your goal is to have a user try it, so you don't need to explain so much.
Who is your target customer here? I would assume that most digital photographers already know how to watermark their images. Maybe you should target to more the mom/pop/kids variety?
Looks good otherwise :)
I like it, but change the name. marquee is not something that is easy to spell or remember. How about markyourimg.com?
The idea looks good, as does the website, but on Chromium on Ubuntu 11.10, I get the following on the homepage, which I assume isn't correct (notice the scrollbars):
