That's a valid point. Image data is never stored, only hashes. But it passes though the server and I don't like that either.

It's not quite greyscale, it has to be in a specific binary black-and-white representation, but definitely do-able if documented. Or I could publish a little python library.

Just thinking out loud here.

Yeah don’t mean to diminish the project, it’s very cool! I’m sure you already have a lot of work into it.

This thing is almost exactly what I was looking for less than a week ago. It’s actually even simpler and more clever than I imagined. For me less is more. Just serve an image at a URL. EZPZ.

If you want to make it hackable I suggest docs first because everyone is going to want to use their own preferred language. Maintaining a library is just more work and image processing libraries are already a dime a dozen.

That's a good point about documentation-first. Sometimes a little reference code can say more than 1000 words, though :)
