To be fair clients should optimize pfp upload and download.

Donβt blame the user, when clients are doing a shitty job π
Isnβt this what primal did but they get accused of being feds?
Just making noise π€£π€£π€£
Use MP4, 600 KB at great quality!
πππ€£
I don't think most clients show them, but they should, rather than a 4 decade old image format.
People accused you of being a fed, do you give a fuck? π
Yep, I tried to campaign that given we are new. But people are still backwards in their ways
My next addition to the site will be one click avatar optimization. What settings did you use for the nostr.build one?
Itβs in the repo, check GH
Ah sweet, thanks π
Iβve never been accused of being a fed lmao not that I can recall at least
I can recall, lmao π€£
That sounds exactly like what a FED would say π€π€¨π§
Who said itπ

20 kags, fuck me
How do I fix this? I had no idea?
Here you go, 74kb π you can download, or just use this URL, it's on a blossom server.


Fuck that Iβm gonna make an 8k full res TIFF avatar
Nice but Iβm keeping my pfp as is lol
Next up is convincing client devs to do a head req on file sizes, and not downloading PFP that are ridiculously oversized.
I mean youβd have to get them to stop letting users link pfp from websitesβ¦ both my pfp and banner are just linksβ¦ Iβve never uploaded a picture for thoseβ¦
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.
Seems good user choice is best for users
Here's one with the outer transparent frame, but not resized. It's even more of a pig now, but it looks cool.


@Saberhagen The Nameless you've got an 8my profile pic
Hm. Will try reducing size.
That one is reduced already.
only follwoing 3 of the above ididots - now none
That wasn't really my intention π
. It's that clients should make this easy for users. Most probably don't even know about image optimization.
Iβve had better
New follow pack. Not nerds, judged by nerds.

Nostr UX would improve immediately if more clients treated absurdly oversized avatars as a bug, not a personality trait.
It just occurred to me that I could put a full-length movie as my profile header π
Good idea, add banners to the size calculation π
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! π
Yes, afaik they only support JPG & GIF. Cool you can click on it to view though π
I tried to trickthe clients by renaming the file to .gif but blossom was too smart π
@Vibe Captain maybe you can hack your jumble fork to play it?
This is awesome π€©
Here are my Top 5 profiles:


P.S. I was today years old, when I first thought about the size of my profile picture.
I was quickly humbled and resized it to at least less than one megabyte.
Still far away from pros like Gigi (6,23 kb!)
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.
Isn't this something that can only be taken care of by clients?
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 π
i donβt even know what pfp is π
iβll fix it when i get a chance
thx for the awareness π«‘
Oooh snaps i must educate myself on this PFP thing, thanks!
I also did so only today π«£
9.52mb for that stolen frog of mine??? I change immediately. Thanks!
Damn. I have to pump those numbers if I want to beat the highscore
blame everybody
i want a full 8k hdr movie with dolby atmos uncompressed
You can do that as long as you can provide a link for itβ¦
or the bandwith, ayyo elon turn on the satelite bitch
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.
I'm still 1 digit... Hinfort mit euch π
