This project didn’t take off like I wanted it to and Italian domain names are expensive… So I let it die. If you have any interest in taking its reigns, contact me.

BigImg.it (pronounced “big image it”) is an image embed applet for putting big images in not-so-big spaces, like on blogs or websites with fixed widths.

Tech Pitch: Give BigImg.it the URL to a tall/wide/awkardly-sized image, and it returns the HTML for an iFrame of that image cropped to dimensions you set and panning/zooming via JavaScript.
Lay Pitch: Put big images in small places.

Nerd Stuff

• Written in JavaScript/jQuery with a bit of PHP
• @font-face via Google’s Font Directory
• Awkwardly degrading CSS3 rounded corners and rotation on call to action link
• jQuery hosted by Google. jQ mousewheel plugin by Cached Commons
• AdSense ads with a “Please disable your adblocker” message for people like me
• Share widget in the top right like my other apps: OneFileCMS, What Page of Google Am I On?, CSS Killswitch, JabberWordy (Whew!)
• Embeds work in all major browsers, even IE6
• Promote JS banner
• Ritzy Italian .it domain name

Currently a Minimum Viable Prdouct, BigImg.it still has a couple key features on the roadmap… assuming there’s any interest in it. If you’ve got any feedback or have a bug to report, please contact me or leave a comment on this post. Thanks!
