I appreciate the suggestions, they are very welcome. Some may be possible.
- Color palette detection, for theming purposes. (Like say a page displays an image, it can color itself based on the palette of the image, or it can be used for showing a dominant color, before the image loads.)
I’ve got another lib called Color in development that implements color science and John Cullpit, the author of libvips, has agreed to put k-means of an image in the next release which is very helpful for palette optimisation.
- Color grading images based on LUT provided. (For consistent look and feel of the site)
Color grading I also want to do since photography is a passion of mine and managing color is very helpful. May be possible, there are some LUT capabilities in libvips and vision. Also complementary, analogous, split complementary, triadic color calculation.
- Configurable QR code. (Like QR code monkey)
Nothing special in libvips for that but I’ll take a look. Lower priority in my mind.
- Rendering a HEEX template, a webpage or a section of a webpage, or svg into an image
Not available directly in libvips. It renders SVG into images really well using librsvg but not html.
- Video to gif or something better.
I’m more likely to do gif to video since that the more common trend I’m seeing?
- Some default / custom placeholder image in case of error.
Yes, that makes sense. Will think about what that might look like.
- Documentation
Absolutely - I will work on tutorial and user guide style docs using Livebook as the platform as a priority before version 1.0. It all takes a lot of time …
