How does this compare to imigix? It's worked well for us at Product Hunt.

Hi @rrhoover, that's a great question and people ask that very often, we compare Piio against using traditional API services and standard solutions for responsive websites on this blog post: http://bit.ly/2lBqh8U TL;DR; Piio automatically generates the images for the different screen sizes and browsers. Result: Single point of integration, less code and no maintenance required.

Hey @nicolasbistolfi, @sgarciadarosa & @martingiura, Can you tell us what makes your product stand out from the rest?

Hi @jacqvon, we're the only image optimization service that can automatically resize and optimize images based on the element size and that inherits CSS behavior (it also works for background images). That means that you don't need to learn about using query parameters, communicating with the API or changing the storage of your images. There are only 2 steps to integrate Piio: 1 - Copy the JS provided for your domain into your HTML 2 - Change your <img src="..." /> elements to <img data-piio="..." /> Done!

Hello Hunters, 🎯 We're happy to announce our official launch, I personally have been working around web technologies and performance for the last 14 years. I've seen how 10 years ago JavaScript was a pain for every developer, IE dominated the market, Firebug was the only developer tool and Chrome didn't exist, let's not even talk about tools like MailChimp or Stripe. Things have changed a lot, but not for storage or content delivery 🤔, so our mission it's to create that simplicity in the content industry, starting with Image Optimization. Piio is built for developers by developers 👾 and we wanted to make it as simple as possible, the best idea we had it was to make a service that covers every angle of image optimization with a simple integration like any lazy loading library. Hope you can take a look at what we did and leave us your feedback 😻 ...also, there's a special *** 20% lifetime discount *** for all the hunters today!

@nicolasbistolfi Excellent product. Couple of thoughts if you are doing B2B sales : a) Reach out to companies who are hiring for product managers. Since they are investing in product by hiring one, they will be willing to buy a product like yours. b) Reach out to newly funded companies. They will be interested to optimise their website.

Thanks @shreyaa_ratra ! We never thought about the first option, but it makes a lot of sense.

That's great idea, one question, are you optimizing the image with keeping the same quality while degrading in size?
Martin Giura
Maker
Hi @nishchit_dhanani, Piio understands what's happening on the HTML and display of each customer and according to the device and browser generates an image in the exact size of the container and in the best format for that browser. This means if you are using a mobile phone with Chrome, Piio will generate an image in Webp format and resized according to the display and size of the container in the HTML. For this reason Piio generates a Pixel-Perfect image. If you are using an iphone with Safari, it will generate an image in JPEG2. All of this with no visual loss to the viewer.

I have tried different image optimization services in the past and most were super difficult to integrate or even try. Piio was a pleasant surprise as it makes this easy and straightforward. We didn't have to change anything on our backend or spend time from our dev team. Overall, its a great tool for image optimization and making a website load much faster.

Pros:

Easy to integrate

Cons:

None comes to my mind

Love the product, love the team that's building it—congratulations on the launch! Can't wait to see where you take Piio next :)

@matt_creager thanks! You and the Manifold team have been of great help for us

When you find a tool that provides so much value with such a low investment, magic happens. Probably working on image optimization for websites is fun for developers from the technical standpoint. But when you're running a company, you just have to move fast and get the best and fastest product to solve your problems. That's the case with image optimization/delivery and Piio. A no brainer

Pros:

You can instantly reduce loading times and improve image quality on your website by with just pasting a few lines of code. Love it :)

Cons:

None yet.

Hi again @nicolasbistolfi - will this work within Webflow???
Nico Bistolfi
Maker
Hi @danielkempe, so to be honest, I'm not sure. If you can integrate a 3rd party lazy loading library, then yes, it'll work. I would love to help you through the process and find out how Piio can work on Webflow, contact me at nico@piio.co and I'll assist you with the integration, what do you think?

Hi, im just curious, we’re using flywheel’s CDN as well as image compression plugin, how does this work with them? Can i opt out of flywheel’s CDN which is $10 a month compared to this only half a price. Can you please enlighten me.

Hi @boynextrawr, you are using wordpress right? We have an available beta plugin for Wordpress. You can write me to martin at piio dot co and I could give it to you to try and compare results.
Kevin Vandenborne
I'm interested in using this but I have some questions: - On the pricing page it says "Up to 10,000 MAU", what does MAU stand for? - You have to include "//piio.co/demo/piio.min.js", what's with the "demo"?
Martin Giura
Maker
Hi @veloxy, - MAU is the same as Monthly Active Users = Monthly Unique visitors your website has. - When you register for a Piio account, it gives you a special code, without the demo. :) Please write to us anytime, happy to help! :)

I used it for several websites and the improvement was evident, I could deliver a quick win for my team... and without spending time from our technical team. Win - win

Pros:

Powerfull and super easy to install

Cons:

I don't like birds so much

Marcelo Reperger
I manage a few sites with about 35,000 MAU, what happens if I set up a Piio account (Basic plan) and I reach the limit a few days before the month ends? Thanks!

@marcelo_reperger hi Marcelo, I replied both if your questions on your first comment

At YoReparo.com we implemented Piio to speed up our site by serving real-time optimized images to our users.

We print 10 million pages each month.

It was very easy to integrate and all our conversion rates are going up since then

Pros:

Hassle-free integration and you are ready to serve optimized images to every device.

Cons:

None

Marcelo Kronfeld

Using it for our Saas with awesome results!

Really easy to integrate and awesome results!

Cons:

None

I've tried Piio at http://nomada.uy for more than a month and it had great impact. Users wait less for the page to fully load so the returning visitors got increased. The out-of-the-box resize feature also helped us in mobile experience and we didn't have to worry about making images in different sizes. The best part of this was the integration process, it took no more than 15 minutes to get it work.

Pros:

Not only great for final users but for developers to integrate

Cons:

Not a clue

Kevin Natanzon
Vouch for this amazing team! Congratulations @nicolasbistolfi! Will definitely give it a try.
