<p>Hey, cool! I'd simplify the page a lot. Right now it (impressively) feels like a full product, but I want to see it as more of a tool/fun thing. I'd cut back a lot and focus on the images. For example, right now, when you load the home page, there is not a single picture in sight.<p>I think the pricing is a bit odd because I imagine using this for one or two cars, not 3 or more. Maybe some would be willing to pay a couple bucks per car, so you could raise the prices, and make 3 focused tiers instead of 5.<p>There's something odd about the pictures too. The thumbnails don't look like toy cars, they look like (photographically) sharpened images. It's only when I open the full picture that I see the toy-car-ness. Not sure what you can do about that.<p>The backgrounds, too, don't scream 'toy-car'. I think it might feel more like a toy if you render it on a desk, on a hot wheels track, etc.<p>That is what I noticed, critically. Way to build something.</p>

<p>A drawing of a cup has 'cup-ness', as far as our mind is concerned. It's not about the micro mechanisms of edge detection or color or whatever, it's about how we recognize the quality of a cup in real cups and things that push the margins for what a cup is and in drawings of a cup.</p>

<p>Your point well taken, but my issue is not so much that these companies decided to terminate his employment. I think that was cowardly and in essence caving to an imaginary mob, but let's leave that aside.<p>My contention is that this whole spiraled up from discovery of some bad behavior from the past, that seems to have been inflated into an exaggerated character assassination.<p>My contention with the grandparent comment is that "just don't be x" is not really an option if we are seeking redemption for past sins.</p>
