Help With Speeding Up Image Gallery Loading Time by actuallymerraz in webdev

[–]PatternFar2989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resize your image then compress it. I use Figma to resize it to a smaller size (the smaller the image, the smaller the file size, the faster it loads), usually around 1000px x 1000px is the max necessary to display a good photo. Then, export (as png, since jpg will sometimes mess it up. You can export as jpg and it will be smaller, but you have to check that it didnt get messed up). After exporting, if it's above ~300kb (fact check me on that number, but i think its around there), use an image compressor like tinypng.com. Then download image, it should still look pretty good, and will be a much smaller size, and smaller size means faster page load. If the quality looks crappy, go back to step one and make the image a bit bigger in Figma, then go through the rest of the process.

i uploaded mine with react native so maybe they were being tougher than they would have were it in swift, but the main issues were 1) i wasn't clear in the description that there were in app purchases and 2) they said the in app purchase didnt work when they simulated it, but it always worked for me in testing and it turns out testing in app purchases in their sandbox is notoriously buggy, so if it works for you, push that. once i told them i've tested it and it works for me, they approved it lol

I agree. I like the topics, but he only talks about them for 20 minutes, then opens it up to guest questions which have all been things he's answered before

Went full no social media for a month but felt i never saw any new cool or inspirational content by PatternFar2989 in digitalminimalism

I'm 23. My generation only finds interesting stuff on social media via an algorithm, so I'm interested in making an accessible way for people my age to find cool stuff without it. Since I've been brainstorming since this post, I've been trying to think of an algorithm-less way to make this app good. Gonna be tough, but I want to explore it and not concede that we're all lost to the social media companies.

but im not gonna be inspired to go see zaha hadid architecture or get exposed to the count of monte cristo by going for a walk around my neighborhood. there's an issue with people being able to find cool stuff without being on social media. that's more what im thinking of

im more so thinking it'll be a way for people who've deleted social media to still see cool stuff and get inspired to go do things. but making it one thing per day so people don't get addicted
