You know how https://t.co/XrIboZ61Dg crashes when you resize PNG images?

Yeah that’s fixed now 🎉

Pushed a new version of https://t.co/MnAIZrgGya to live!

@kripken enabled closure compiler (`--closure 1`) on all codecs, reducing each glue code file by about ~50%, saving ~150KB in total 🎉

Why not Chrome? Chrome’s optimizing compiler for WebAssembly currently takes >2s, potentially draining your mobile phone’s battery. So rather than blocking the PR for everyone, we used UA sniffing. Chrome users can opt-in via `?allow-hqx`.

https://t.co/wt1Uv9Ra4B now includes hqx, a pixel-art upscaling algorithm.

Available in all* browsers!

*) except Chrome

(Shout-out to @CryZe107 for his hqx Rust library!)

@tabatkins @slightlylate @fugueish @jfbastien @WIRED We got palette reduction!

PNG actually seems like the *slightly* better choice here at equal file size. Slightly better quality.

@AmeliasBrain I’m guessing you have tried the different scaling algorithms? They give a variety of behaviors re sharpness and edges.

@AmeliasBrain Hey Amelia :D

In general: We do take requests. Happily on GitHub!

1.) We kinda already show it if you click the resize button. But we could possibly make it more prominent.
2.) Good idea.
3.) I get that. We are strugging to find screen estate for these features.
