React/web component for responsive images on steroids

Hey, OP here. This is hopefully interesting, especially for front-end developers. Nowadays images (JPEG, PNG, ...) can contain so-called Image Regions in their metadata [1] like cropping regions or regions of interest. So we've created a React component [2] that responsively displays the "best" cropping region, i.e. the one with the ratio closest to the current `` element size. If you don't use React we have also built a web component. [3] With this approach you no longer have to worry about whether the size of your assets will match the ratio of their containers on all devices. The…

In plain words

This is a React component and web component that automatically displays the best cropping region for responsive images by reading Image Regions metadata embedded in JPEG and PNG files.

It eliminates the need to maintain hard-cropped image variants across devices, ensuring images always display appropriately regardless of container dimensions.

  • Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

    Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
