If you could help standardize the size of screenshots / images that would be a great value-add. Could be as simple as a cropping tool upon upload that offers an automatic crop selection matching dimensions of previously uploaded image

It's really not (only) that "benefits matter," but that this kind of comprehensive yet simple calculus is missing when most people consider a startup gig. Whenever I lost or was on the verge of losing an employee to a startup, it was pretty
