When I first saw this product announced, I immediately wanted to replace my manual solution with it. I’ve been putting it off because other work had to be done, but now that I read this, I think I’ll stick with my current workflow for now. What I’ve been doing is first resize an image to multiple specific sizes using Vips (https://www.libvips.org/API/current/using-cli.html https://www.libvips.org/API/current/using-cli.html) for size in 8120 5260 3840 2560 1920 1200 992 768 576 320 vipsthumbnail $img --vips-progress --linear \ --size=$size --vips-concurrency=(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) -o $size'_%s.png' \ --eprofile='/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc' \ --delete --rotate end Optimize them using ImageOptim (https://imageoptim.com/mac https://imageoptim.com/mac) imageoptim (dirname $img) Then use some kind of template to add a srcset on my websites. This one is using Plim (https://plim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax.html#tag-attributes https://plim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax.html#tag-attrib...) which I use on Lunar’s website (https://lunar.fyi https://lunar.fyi) img alt="background" srcset=${ ','.join(f'/static/img/stars/{width}_stars.png {width}w' for width in [8120, 5260, 3840, 2560, 1920, 1280, 1024, 768, 640, 320]) } This one is using Hugo which I use on https://alinpanaitiu.com https://alinpanaitiu.com {{ $paths := ( apply [8120, 5260, 3840, 2560, 1920, 1200, 992, 768, 576, 320, 64] "printf" "/images/%d_stars.png %dw" ) }} {{ $srcset := delimit $paths "," }} <img alt="background" srcset="{{ $srcset }}"> Having a CDN in front which could do this for me is what I’ve been dreaming of, so I can simply have an images folder with the unaltered images instead of all those variants. But what I want isn’t always what I need. Maybe what I need is something like a reverse proxy that can generate the variant on the fly when it is requested by the browser through the srcset.
