Re: Show HN: Amplify – A tiny script allowing inline image zoom

There's a related annoyance I've had for a while now: I grew up reading PC Gamer magazine and one of the great things about it was, for me, seeing the fancy new graphics coming out in large, glossy screenshots. Now, I read Rock Paper Shotgun and PC Gamer online and the screenshots are tiny, tiny things! On screenshot-focused articles, they'll be expandable but on most they're just little blocks the size of the textbox I'm writing in right now. And even when they are expandable, they almost never actually let you expand to full-screen. It kills some of the fun for me - but I guess now we have fullscreen video to more than make up for it though I don't always want to watch a video.

While expanding them inline would be nice, it doesn't really fix the problem that they're serving tiny images.

It might just be that I don't have much experience with JS, but it profoundly annoys be that a "tiny" script has 8 additional config files...

The configuration files are just for working on the source. The final file looks like this: https://github.com/charlestati/amplify/blob/master/docs/ampl...
