Show HN: DailyScreenshot - track the visual evolution of any website
Got my first paid customer on the weekend, which felt good. :)
Anyway, here's the site: http://dailyscreenshot.com/ Thoughts, comments, feedback?

First things first: I'd like to see some examples of tracked sites: The BBC News one would be a good example.
A thought: The aliasing on the free plan is annoying. PNG has multiple quality levels. Defaulting to JPEG for the free plan hurts both you (in terms of storage size) and your users, probably more than necessary. Use high compression on the free plan, and minimal compression on the paid ones.
Feedback: I'm not sure whether I can or can not share the URLs of my channels without compromising my account. A "Publish" mechanism to generate a public URL for a date range would be great. Also, the calendar interface is unexpected, I think I'd rather have a slideshow.
Just to clarify - the JPEG filesizes are much smaller than the PNG versions, how is that hurting me with storage?
Thank you for your feedback :)
There are other ways to go about this, though.
