Profile picture compression is excessive and should be done server-side #44
Description
Noting this down so I don't forget, I feel that there's a few not-ideal things about the people profile picture system
- Images are very compressed and downscaled (this is excessive especially considering there's only 4 profiles)
- Storing only the compressed version isn't ideal, preferably storing the original and a slightly compressed version to serve (and link to the original when someone wants to expand it
- To add onto this, you're able to click profile pictures to expand the image. This is fairly useless when it loads the very small version of the image, as it's not any better quality.
