May I suggest AVIF then? (should be superior to WebP on all points now that it is supported everywhere?)
1 1maybe one day but not today, it’s super expensive to encode and we don’t want to make the image reprocessing server explode
2 3But doesn’t Bluesky already reprocess to avif? If I append `@avif` to an image URL from the Bluesky CDN I get an avif version of that image.
1 4we do, we are just using ImgProxy. we just have server load considerations
imgproxy: fast and secure on-the-fly image processing
imgproxy is a fast and secure standalone server for resizing and converting remote images. The guiding principles behind imgproxy are security, speed, and simplicity
imgproxy.net
Holy crap, I was expecting this to be far more limited.
I could tell @bmp worked correctly as soon as I saw the image loading from the bottom.
1Okay then; can't wait for JXL to be available everywhere, it would be as good as AVIF while being wayyyy less demanding on the encoder side! (Could be even less demanding than WebP, so it would save you compute too…)
I'll ping you about that next year 💛
