Comment on MAZANOKE update (image optimizer via browser): Batch upload and download

anguo@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

While I appreciate the sentiment, I do think that despite being well-intentioned this could just contribute to today’s digital illiteracy. It also downplays the app’s privacy, I almost dismissed it as a cloud service the moment I saw that.

Perhaps you could use “open” and “save”, which is widely understood and probably more appropriate.

That said, the app is a great initiative, and I’ll certainly give it a look once I get in front of a computer, and probably recommend it to students.

Just because its run locally, doesnt mean it still isnt a web server. The software could run anywhere and be accessed over the network. The image optimization happens at the server, so download and upload are more accurate.

  Wait, the optimization does not leave the device, it happens in the browser. There isn’t any need for a web server.
  
  If this can be used as an offline PWA, it doesn’t even need to be ‘self-hosted’, except for keeping it up to date.

    Yeah, you’re totally right.
    
    All image processing happens locally. And then it mentions that you can just open the index.html directly, which means it uses clientside javascript or wasm and runs on the browser. You are correct!
    
    On the topic of word choice, you might be right. Save or open might be better.
