Profile Pictures #4

Open ankitr opened 10 years ago

ankitr commented 10 years ago

We need profile pictures for users. Hopefully, we can store them off our servers (so they don't explode) and have some pretty-looking identicons for people who don't put a picture. We should also consider using something like Filepicker for image upload.

kach commented 10 years ago

You don't need Filepicker; HTML5 gives you more than enough to do good image upload on your own. And we want to own the images. Images are volatile, imho.

ankitr commented 10 years ago

We'll own the images, but why not store them on S3 or something? Memory is cheap if you know where to buy it, and our servers are designed for a high RAM to storage ratio, which is bad for storing files.

kach commented 10 years ago

Sure, that's not an issue, really. You have a db set up anyway, right?

MongoDB is what we're on right now. Should we consider Postgres?

kach commented 10 years ago

Mongo.

Working on identicons (sort of).
