image quality is low #76

The images in my feed just don't look very sharp. I think we can do better.

Two likely culprits:

  1. iOS is uploading too low res a photo
  2. API is servicing too low res a photo

Or maybe both of those things.

I would start by assuming the api is the problem, and change it to return a larger image size url in the api response. Keep in mind that if we up the image size being sent to the client that other problems will arise. Currently, images uploaded/downloaded from my iPhone 6 are about 100k-150k each. I'm not sure what a reasonable payload is, but the larger that gets, the more bandwidth we use, and the slower the initial page is too load. This is also an issue as more games are displayed in the feed.

There are workarounds for the slower page load - I expect that we can do some kind of incremental load.

I'm now returning a higher res from the API, and things are looking better.
