Do you really not see the benefit in avoiding the need to recreate a bunch of scaffolding around 3 separate image encoders, or is this just an excuse to dump on facebook?
- tyfon 8y agolibimage-magick should be sufficient, however I don't know how well that runs on androids and iphones. It smells like a NIH project to me, but then again there might have been some very special requirements that facebook needed that was not already available in other libraries.

- bigiain 8y agoDoes libimage-magick work at all in iOS/Android? At Facebook's scale, the choice of whether to resize/crop/compress images on devices or at the backend must be a complete no-brainer. Why would you stand up additional datacenters instead of just burning a little more of your user's (your "product's"?) battery?
