If you just assume that about 100% of what you read on the internet, see on the tv news, or read in a newspaper is bought and paid for by someone with a economic interest in the topic, you'll probably be right about 90%+ of the time.


You're clearly a shill for the critical thinking lobby, GTFO.


Pointing out the more egregious examples can help take the wind out of their sails.


I agree, very useful insight.


Seller beware, yes, but I also think developers with ideas to sell are a dime a dozen - without execution to make it successful/profitable business ideas by themselves are not worth much.


Have you set a price? Not sure how to monetize it but I like your traffic stats.


Not yet.

I also have some plans for monetizing further, but they need time or $$$.

Do you make anything form it now? What are you hoping to get for it? - and what stack are you using?


It's two parts: An App Engine/Python for the UI and user registration, and a Linux server for image capturing (Python, Javascript, RabbitMQ, ...etc.). At first we used popular libraries like Phantomjs, but eventually had to write our own to scale better.

I'm experimenting right now with moving the image capturing code to an App Engine managed VM to simplify things and make it scale easier.


Which library are you using for image capture? Been using webkit2png ( https://github.com/AdamN/python-webkit2png/ ) for a personal project, but I'm interested to hear your experiences.


Could you mention why you stopped using PhantomJS? Also, how are you supporting flash?


Could you please elaborate on what your own implementation turned out to be?
