Do you have a utility that lets me port over my named transformations from Cloudinary? Also, is there any way to pull images directly from an S3 bucket rather than from my Heroku instance?
We just grab whatever image you include in the url, so as long as the images in your S3 bucket are public, Firesize should be able to resize them just like normal.
Great :), first impressions: I've seen a few of these before and the things I remember I liked about them was the ability to provide a default image incase you cannot load the image. Major kudos if you could do a g_face so you could center / crop around faces! You say you provide a CDN and yet the images are loading slow under HackerNews weight. I guess the type of people who are going to use these aren't super conce…
The image on the homepage isn't behind a CDN, but when you signup we give you a custom subdomain which is behind a CDN. Although the initial loading and resizing still takes a quick second, before we cache it.
Not exactly. The Heroku addon just means you can easily signup and manage Firesize from the Heroku dashboard. Although the code is AGPL'd so you could totally run your own hosted version of Firesize: https://github.com/asm-products/firesize

Oh nope, but that would be pretty sweet. I'll throw that in the queue of things to build next. We just grab whatever image you include in the url, so as long as the images in your S3 bucket are public, Firesize should be able to resize them just like normal.
What I would need to move over to yours are the following features: * Reorienting the picture based on exif data * Picture gravity via face detection * Way to ensure no one else maliciously uses my account (e.g., domain whitelisting/CORS, only pulling from my S3 bucket, something like that) * Renaming the output file image on the fly
Obviously, I'm only one customer, so don't do anything based on just me! But if it's at all helpful, these are one potential user's needs :)
Nginx can do this with the ngx_http_image_filter_module (included in stock distribution): https://neosmart.net/blog/2014/nginx-wordpress-images-with-n...
Bit off-topic, but... it feels like there's a trend towards "x as a service" away from "x as open-source software". Is that something other people are seeing, or is it just my imagination?
