Thanks - I've reached out to them to discuss

Thanks for your detailed feedback on this, I appreciate it!

I didn't think this would come up so quickly! This can actually be fixed with an undocumented option 'gamma'[1]
I didn't include it in the website, admittedly because I didn't fully understand it, and I wanted to keep the service as simple as possible.
Would it make sense for this to be the default?

I definitely will do that!

Cloudflare actually doesn't have any uptime guarantees until you're on the enterprise plan, afaik. If Cloudflare were to have an outage which caused downtime of Scaley then the guarantee would cover that outage.

Ah, great info - thanks for the heads up. I'll dig into that and look into alternatives

The main thing I've tried to focus on is simplicity - you can just use it by changing some URLs.
There are definitely other services out there which address the same thing, the closest one is probably https://rsz.io/ which even includes some more processing features, but it doesn't have the CDN and I couldn't find any info about uptime.

Thanks! And yes, it doesn't pay any attention to the original filename, image format is detected by the data stream. Here's that image resized to 600px wide:

I made this mainly because I wanted a service to use for my own projects - but the existing solutions were either prohibitively expensive or didn't have uptime guarantees.
The backend for the processing service is nodejs and sharp[1], processed images are cached on CloudFlare. The processing servers are a custom instance type in an autoscaling group on Google Cloud.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

It only works with vehicles which have built-in capability of auto steering and braking

Seems far more likely to be type coercion, or over enthusiastic validation, rather than arbitrary code execution.

This looks great and seems feature-rich enough to get started with straight away! I'll definitely check it out for server backups over scp.
My only suggestion is that you have a native English speaker proofread the text on your website. There are a few grammatical and translation errors which make the service seem less professional.

I totally agree with you, but how does the trademark licensing help with confusion in this case?
If they were to pay 1-2e/mo to use the trademark legally, wouldn't the confusion still exist? Or is the full story actually that they have to pay _and_ actually offer it as stock Ubuntu?
