Yeah, we'll be working on it. We just wanted to test if people would actually use it. 8500 uses in three days is enough for us to start working on the extension.

I've been looking for a Chrome extension that would display real time visitors in Google Analytics tab. Couldn't find one, so we made a simple bookmarklet that lets you track any realtime counter in the minimized tab.

The whole thing was ready in just few hours, including designing and coding the landing page. Nothing fancy, but does the job.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually we're testing premium features, like custom domains and themes. username.tookapic.com would be reserved for premium users. Right now pawelkadysz.tookapic.com points to 404 (which should be fixed next week). But the custom domain hooked up to the site works just fine, see for yourself: http://daily.pawelkadysz.com - this is the kind of premium theme I'm talking about (it's all powered by tookapic).

As for the slugs and URLs. At first we had it like this: tookapic.com/username/ID-slug but we had some issues with people changing their usernames (that's allowed) and putting weird characters in the photo titles, which all resulted in breaking the links and pointing to 404 in the end.

That's why we changed it to how it works now. No username change nor emoji in photo title will break the link now.

Minimum photo size is 1280px (width). As far as I know iPhones have 8MP cameras. Unless you crop it to 50% the size it should work just fine. Also, there's an iOS app coming in a couple of weeks which will make uploading from iPhone much, much easier.

Quite a lot of users keep uploading daily. If you do that, your "Streak number" grows. Once you stop uploading for more than two days - the streak number goes back to zero (you can still upload those missed photos though). You can see a list of users sorted by their streak number here: https://tookapic.com/projects?sort=streak

Good point. We'll take care of it first thing tomorrow.

All the details are available on the licensing page: https://tookapic.com/licensing

It's up to you if you want to share those photos as free, or even sell them for real money. You can of course keep all the copyrights and even watermark your photos.

You have all the choices on the upload page: http://cl.ly/c6Qt

We're probably going to hit the 20,000 photos milestone today. It's not much. But our users are allowed to upload only one photo per day. That's 20,000 days of couple of hundred people. Almost 55 years worth of photos :)

I'm looking for feedback on the UX, design and also any tips on getting traction, which I really struggle with.

Thank you!
