Some minor issues with slightly not safe for work images showing up on terms like 'christmas' but apart from that .. love the interface. Didn't notice the size-o-meter though on first try.
Thanks for the feedback truebosko. I agree it's not ideal and I'm playing around with various ways to solve it. I think a combination of community rating and moderation will be the long term solution.
I'm quite confused by the technology behind this. I tried searching for "leather wallet," and it said that the term is being established, and currently has no results (while wallet gave me quite a few). Does this mean that you only index pictures after someone typed in the term?
I like the front end, but it seems like the search engine needs some work to find useful pictures.
The site is pretty sweet. I like how it simplifies the usage terms and lists out what is important.
I know it's an image site and that probably means the pages are pretty heavy, but the pages do seem a little slow. I wonder if I would get annoyed by the sluggishness after long-term use. Any speed increases would probably be worth the effort.
No. Currently Sprixi shows CC commercial-ok licences and public-domain-like licences. So CC-BY images are indeed shown, but there are no filters to hide the others.
I upvoted you for the good link, but I also want to say that I like the way you titled your post. It would be nice if more users would give their post a more concise epithet.
Thanks. Currently it only uses Flickr, OpenClipArt and uploaded images. So it's not exactly a crawling search engine as such, more a search tool. Frankly I'm not interesting in indexing millions of images, I only want the useful ones!
I do want to add to the list of websites it talks to however. WIP.
