Zimage

Hello friends! ⚡️ Today (tonight? this morning? 😴) I am launching the beta version of a project I've been working on called Zimage. https://zimage.io This came about because I needed an extremely fast image proxying service that could serve images from anywhere on the web – and Zimage was born. This is similar to other solutions like Imgix, Cloudinary, Resizely, Rsz.io, etc except that it's free to use and easy to get started, provides free and automatic edge caching, and is as fast (if not faster) than the paid solutions. I've decided to launch the free version to the public in order to help discover bugs/issues that people may encounter before opening up the paid version to the public. This service is perfect for anyone that is serving images in their app or web site either from their own service or from external sources (Twitter, other websites, etc). Feel free to check out the documentation and start using it today for free: http://docs.zimage.io/ More things to come (such as automatic "blur up" effect that you see on producthunt) and much more. 🚀 Thanks!

Wow, this is the 3rd product launch in the past month for you, @davidbyttow (following IO and Bold). Sleeping much? 😁

Your claim 'fastest', any benchmark to share again other similar solutions ?

Seems like an e-commerce site, maybe something on shopify would be a great example or test use case to illustrate the point. By default, locked into their image service, by running everything through your setup, total image load decrease from x to y, decrease in load time mobile vs desktop is a to b, etc.

Exciting project, didn't quite get what the examples try to demonstrate on the site tho, I agree with @jcwinter a straight forward compare on loading time would be sweet.

@davidbyttow can you convert gifs to webm? aka the product hunt usecase

@davidbyttow I like the focus on speed and ease of use, nice work!
