For a while I've wanted a tool to dither images in a consistent format for this blog.  I like that they are a) very space efficient, and b) retro.

I've spun the page up.  It's *extremely* MVP, and absolutely not really fit for purpose.  For one thing, I'm downloading ~8mb dithered images.  Sort of beats the point of compressed, really.

I wanted to see if I could build a tool to do this in the browser rather than a CLI tool with something like image magick.

There are a number of (honestly very advanced) dithering tools, like [ditheringstudio.com](https://ditheringstudio.com) and a dedicated subdomain on [sigrist.dev](https://dithering.sigrist.dev).

Sometimes you just want to get your hands dirty and build your own thing.

I want to have a way to share (more personal) images on the blog.  Photos mean a lot to me, and I'd like some place (that I own) to put them.
