This is great and all, but it’s yet another Emacs mode for a Software-as-a-service.

Viewed purely as an image manipulation tool, I have real trouble seeing a good reason why this couldn’t be done locally using Cairo. Viewed as an Imgix parameter previewer, I don’t see why you wouldn’t simply use Imgix directly via a web browser.

I made this for fun as a side project, because I love emacs and imgix (I work there). You're probably right that this could be done using Cairo, but I'd be shocked if you could do it as easily as you can with imgix.

Yes, you can use imgix directly via the web browser, but for building complex URLs this is way faster (especially if you're an experienced emacs user). Think encoding and moving between parameters of a super long URL.

I don't see why I'd want to do it in a web browser when I can simply do it directly in Emacs :)

Imgix is a image web hosting service. I’d assume that anyone wanting to use such a thing would be perfectly at home using a web browser.

They're stocking up for the next Emacs vs Vim thread.
