I don’t think it’s appropriate to degrade the original files to that degree. There could be people wanting to share their photography or 4K wallpapers.

I think an <40K ansi preview or <6K ascii preview followed by a link to open the original image is the way to go.

I will add a file size indicator to the image link so people can decide whether they want to commit to the data download based on the preview and post text.

Was this ever finished? I don't see any comments since September...

Unfortunally, I don't know.

@istvan was around recently iirc.

also, i must have missed this thread. an imageboard that previews images in ascii/ansi art? that is *amazing*.

Imageboard — I have a fool question for those that understand the protocol better: Would be possible to implement an Imageboard over Gemini, like 4chan?
