RE: Image sizes on Steemit - bitching and ranting 👺

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

yes, - I've gotten into the habit of adding a <center-tag> already before this happened. There are other bitches I have, such as not being able to add a <target-blank> to open a link in a new tab. Do they want you to be re-directed (i.e. leave) Steemit in order to go to a link? I certainly don't want this on my websites, and unless I override it, my blogs automatically open links in a separate tab. BTW, Busy.org automatically opens a separate tab, but there is a warning you have to click on before you get to an external site. Just checking Busy now, it seems that they do display the images in the correct size (as uploaded). Example: Fear of Flying on Busy (just click the image and then the +zoom), and from the same post on Steemit (this was posted after their hare-brained idea of limiting image sizes): Fear of Flying - so it is a good idea to check out your Steemit posts on Busy.org

Thanks for the tip about busy.org!

It looks like they use ipfs to store the images, instead of the amazon s3 cloud (steemitimages is using), which makes a lot of sense for a decentralized service on top of the steem blockchain.

Hopefully they run their own ipfs node(s). Otherwise the images might disappear in the future (when nobody seeds them anymore). This happened to videos uploaded to dTube in the beginning...

It seems like a good and well established alternative - and you can do your posting right on there, it cross-posts to Steemit.
