You just do a head req without downloading to get the size. Then simply don't download PFP over a certain size. It could be a user configurable setting, to save bandwidth and give the user more control.
That wasn't really my intention πŸ˜…. It's that clients should make this easy for users. Most probably don't even know about image optimization.

I couldn't find a client that would auto-play mp4/webm files as avatar or banner. But at least now Amethyst you can click on the banner and then watch it. Enjoy! 😎
Yeah it's something that is taken care of by most traditional web stuff, so it's not really something you think of, or should have to. We'll get that fixed on Nostr too so it's easier for people.
That's why I vibed this, to make noise. It's already lead to conversations with some client devs to make it better. I'll have an update to the site soon to automatically optimize PFP for the user too πŸ‘

Being at the mercy of some random user setting something stupid as their pfp is dumb. Redownloading the same images, regardless of their size is dumb. I could go on.
