I also ran across imgix.com a few days ago which is a CDN that does on the fly image resizing on GPUs.
Are there some examples on how you would integrate something like that here?
- sp332 13y agoIt looks like the cool part of this is not serving or making the images, but in the JS to request a specific pre-made image. imgix seems to be more about making new images that fit a page or device exactly. You could probably use them together: zurb would request a specific image size and imgix would generate and serve the image on the fly. But imgix seems to have code for that already, and it's more fine-grained since you don't have to specify your sizes ahead of time.
- kellysutton 13y agoThe two go together like peanut butter and jelly. As an imgix customer, I can tell you that the service is a godsend. It looks like you would just pass your imgix URLs into the data-interchange tag. Or for bonus points, fork Interchange and have it pipe every image request through Imgix.
- ericcholis 13y agoI've requested access for the service a few times, any tips on getting in?
- wonderyak 13y agoI just heard about this today... the pricing seems a little off kilter unless I'm understanding it incorrectly. How prohibitively expensive would this be for a SMB to implement? The tech behind the service sounds fantastic, I'd love to be able to use them.
- nsp 13y agoI don't have a lot of experience with imgix, but http://filepicker.io http://filepicker.io will resize your images on demand server side, and its all hosted in your S3 bucket/pretty reasonable pricing. Example: 640x400 and formatted as a jpg https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/rHA62UiiQyCZdEyw6rgw/convert?w=640&h=400&fit=crop&format=jpg https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/rHA62UiiQyCZdEyw6rgw/conv... 200x200 and a png https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/rHA62UiiQyCZdEyw6rgw/convert?w=200&h=200&fit=crop&format=png https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/rHA62UiiQyCZdEyw6rgw/conv...
