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 and a dedicated subdomain on 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.
