How can we improve Patternry?

Make it easier to get thumbnail image working

1) Use phantomJS (or some other fancy stuff) to generate an image from the HTML I use in the case I don't give you a thumbnail image.
2) If I give you an image, make it the thumbnail by default.
3) Let me drag and drop an image.

    Thanks for the suggestion Jamund, I really appreciate your feedback. We had to start with a simple implementation here, but we will improve this later. I can’t give you any schedule yet, but I see improving this important and I’ll do my best to push this forward.

        This is something I would really like, its pain to screenshot every pattern and keep it updated. Not to mention if it isn't exactly the right dimensions the thumb looks blurry.

        Preview of an html pattern should just be a iFrame it would take away a lot of the hassel.

        Thanks for your consideration, great service!
