Congrats for launching.

I've noticed that the gallery screenshots are hard to read (on a MacBook Air in this case) since they are scaled down too much.

Perhaps consider making screenshots with a smaller browser window size which reflects the area in which the screenshots are shown.

Thank you so much! Oh, is it? I actually over past couple of days, spent some time compressing them so that it loads faster. I might have to revert back. Or might add a video, if that helps?

Consider using low quality images initially, buy then using JavaScript to replace those placeholders with higher quality images after the page has loaded.

It's a common technique that seems to satisfy both the crowd wanting near instant page loads, and the crowd wanting high resolution experience.

Sure, will enhance it as you suggest. I also believe it has something to do with the component that I am using to render the images. I will investigate both possibilities. Thanks for the advice.

Future viewers...this is fixed now!
