Image Resizing #2

Open aaronpk opened 6 years ago

aaronpk commented 6 years ago

It may be too much of a burden to require that clients are responsible for image resizing themselves. There has been some discussion about this in IRC as well as on GitHub.

Would a Microsub server download and store the images from post in its feeds? If yes, there needs to be logic to give the new URLs to the client somehow, and potentially the need for authentication for them. www.svenknebel.de 06:42, 4 December 2017 (PST)

This is something I'm indirectly implementing for Lighthouse due to the want to have a proxy to resize images (and avoid a lack of HTTPS). https://git.jacky.wtf/indieweb/lighthouse/issues/24. I'm thinking about having some preset sizes, so I can even experiment with swapping free-form image tags with picture tags to let browsers do a lot of the work. I do want to highlight that the URL is proxied and give clients a way to discern the "actual" URL.
