Are you using an image proxy server?
I've been using a home-grown image proxy server built on top of libvips. It's capable of generating multiple sizes and thumbnails of a single image on the fly to reduce the load time for different screen sizes.
Do you use something like imgix? Are you happy with its pricing?
I'm thinking about open-sourcing the image proxy server behind Storiny (https://www.producthunt.com/products/storiny),...

It's hard, and it's even harder if you're looking for a remote job. I've been trying to land a remote position, and I have applied to over 500 job postings in the past month but have never made it past the interview. I'm looking for other comments in this thread for some tips.
What is the fastest way to find a job?

Any product niches for solo founders?
With almost every product niche being filled with dominating products that are super hard to compete against, are there any product niches left for solo founders?

Depends on the kind of animations. If they are Lotties (basically JSON files), you have to rely on lossless compression algorithms (gzip/brotli). I'd recommend Cloudflare, imgix for images (imgproxy by EvilMartians if you want to self-host, its open-source), or use object storage such as a S3 bucket (quite inexpensive).

It's hard to predict, but I believe Threads from Meta might sunset within the next 5 years (I might be wrong here) along with the wannabe Twitter rival Bluesky, and I'm very uncertain about the future of Twitter/X. Also, I believe that all those low-effort ChatGPT-based AI products will soon become obsolete.
What do you think? Which companies will not be here in 5 years?

Where do you source music for your product videos?
Where can you find commercial music? I'm searching for music under a CC license (excluding cc-nc, cc-nc-nd, and cc-nc-sa). Or do you license it?

Notion acquires Skiff, what next?
I really loved the custom domain feature on Skiff email, until today when I tried to register another account for a subdomain but was greeted with the shutdown notice.
Now, users have 6 months to migrate their data from Skiff to somewhere else. The only quick and cheap solution I could find was to use Cloudflare's email routing feature to forward emails from my apex domain and subdomains to...

We use "our blogging platform to blog on our own platform". It's similar to Medium but with the paywall-free and collaborative features.
Which blog platform do you use as a company blog?

I'd not use it yet for photorealistic avatars, but they work great for something like a sketch or even a pixel-art (only for non-professional use).
What's you view on AI avatars ?

I've never had the opportunity, but I'd love to relocate aboard. The only reason that haunts me is homesickness.
What do you think about working abroad?
