Show HN: An Almost Ideal React Image Component
I know this&#x27;ll get downvoted, but this looks like an awful lot of work for... displaying images in a browser. As other HNers have said, it feels like the browser should be doing this work rather than having to create round about, convoluted JS solutions to deliver simple functionality.<p>Plus, I don&#x27;t get what&#x27;s exciting about this. But I&#x27;m also not a react guy - and this does nothing to make me consider picking it up. Which, is counter to all the cool JS libraries i&#x27;ve pulled into projects over the years, which naturally induced a desire to learn more JS.<p>I guess if you&#x27;re hyper focused on react or frontend js in general, this sort of stuff might be more appealing and relevant. but dear god I&#x27;ve got way more important&#x2F;interesting things to do than spend a day getting images to render in the browser. Nor does this do anything to lower the barriers of entry for people with an idea and a desire to build something. Sometimes I wonder if that&#x27;s a design intent.<p>anyway, sorry for the rant. Great job identifying&#x2F;solving problems, but i don&#x27;t get the appeal.
