Progressive Image Loading #1026

Open kanaabe opened 7 years ago

kanaabe commented 7 years ago

Would love to have this -- we focus on images so much in articles and it's a shame there's just so much white space while these high res images are downloading

@kanaabe What does this mean exactly? Like loading images as you scroll down the page? Or loading a lowres version before the high res? or both 🤠?

Progressive image loading means "lowres version before the high res". Like a blur-into effect. We do this already on artworks: https://www.artsy.net/artwork/eria-sane-nsubuga-muteesa-ii-series-1
