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.

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.
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.
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.

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

Hey! You mentioned that you have a lazy loading feature, does this affect SEO?
Hi @rubenhonrado, good question. In our experience with the case studies we have built, we have seen no negative impact. On the contrary, we have seen a positive impact, specially after Google started considering mobile load times for their google rank.

@martingiura, that's great! Thank you for your reply, I'll give Piio a try.
