Thanks for your comment. I'm happy to hear you've bookmarked the site!

My response to your criticism:

1) Good point. Originally, clicking the images would take you to the source page. I removed that functionality because it messed up the experience for touch devices. I'm going to add it back in for desktops in a few minutes.

2) The map is sort of a "look ahead" feature. That is to say, it's value will rise as more and more location-based images are shared. I'm rather impressed with the quality of content currently available around major metro areas.

3) Curious to know what hardware you're using. I'll add a way to turn off the background in a few minutes.

Thanks again.

Chrome on Windows 7 20.0.1132.47 m

Core2 Duo @2.66GHz

4GB of memory

64 bit

It's really just the fading effect that slows things down. I'm running at 1920x1080 on a Quadro NVS 160M.


Thanks for the info... I haven't made the change yet because I'd like the "off-switch" to be as elegant as possible. But rest assured, it will be there soon and it will be awesome :) The images should be clickable now.
