I disagree with this. If I'm in a poor connectivity situation, a preview can help me quickly decide if an image is worth waiting for.
I'm not talking about blurhash here - those are 'cute' at best. I'm talking about previews that let me determine the subject of an image.
I was on a train recently and an image preview X delivered to me was enough for me to tell that the image was a particular meme format, and thanks to context, I knew enough about the image, and didn't bother waiting for it to load.
- llm_nerd 12d agoYou've left some 36 comments on this submission (which is honestly weird as HN usually rate limits to avoid that sort of aggressive participation), and your comments seem extremely...cherry picked. In another comment you dismissed the bandwidth savings of JXL because connections are so fast that eh, who cares, and in this case you herald the importance of progressive rendering because connections are so slow. Are you the author of the submission? Literally never seen someone so motivated in a conversation before.
- jaffathecake 12d agoI dismissed the bandwidth savings in another comment because the increased decode time undid the benefit. I am not the author of the submission. I have experience in web performance, and my comments come from that experience.
