The implementation detail is irrelevant, and a background detail for the developers. Besides, the suggested solution isn't so good after all, and it detracts from the real issue
Support larger file sizes by compressing them before transfer to the server
- Allow attaching larger images
Many images and screenshots captured today, are larger than 2 MB, the max allowed size on Codidact. This means users will regularly run into a barrier when attempting to upload images to their posts (or profile). Just now, I wanted to create a new post, which would benefit from some screenshots, however, that process was more complicated than it should have to be, because I was denied uploading the screenshots, as they were too large. I can still upload them, but I'll have to go compress them first. This can be automated. Codidact should accept larger image file sizes client-side (10 MB?), compress them, and then upload them to the server.
