I'd pay you $24 a year (what i currently give to flikr) if you can compress my large jpg images into something smaller (currently it seems to be maxed at 900k) another one of my favorite features of Flikr is the ability to view exif data.
Love the project!
- po 16y agoA jpeg image is already compressed. Unfortunately, you won't be able to go much smaller without choosing to lose data.
- gmurphy 16y agoWould you be OK with resizing? App Engine has a 1MB limit, and I could get around that by splitting the file on the client, but I could also just do a resize in JS with canvas/ImageData.
- andymoe 16y agoYou should probably be using the Blobstore API if you are not already. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/blobstore/overview.html http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/blobstore/overv... It takes a bit more work but you could store the original file since it has a 2GB limit. You can only fetch 1MB at a time but it should still be doable.
- derekdahmer 16y agoAnother option is to use boto to pass the upload along to S3 and just store the link path in app engine.
- sachinag 16y agoI'd also pay, with one pony request: the ability to brand the experience so that I had my company's logo in the bottom right (for example) and URL mapping (perhaps just to a subdomain).
- HNer 16y agohere, you will have to accept the java plugin but this you can drag a whole bunch of 3.3Mg images, it will compress all on the fly and serve them back to you. http://www.documentary-art.net/uploads/compress-pics.php http://www.documentary-art.net/uploads/compress-pics.php
- est 16y agoit requires Java applet I hope there is a NaCl version :)
