Description

Goals

The sizes of thumbnails requested by projects maintained by Reading Web are standardised.
Those sizes are given meaningful, semantic names.
Small libraries are written that can convert the names to the associated thumbnail size.
- ... and take into account UA and hardware capabilities, e.g. high-density displays are handled transparently.

Is this something to be used in the apps too?

Is it a library? A specification for platforms to implement?

cc @Fjalapeno

This is something that I think would be useful across all of our Reading platforms.

Mentioned this in the other ticket, but I think this should be something in the API itself. Rather than us implementing it in an IOS SDK, a JS SDK, a Android SDK, etc…

T90914: Provide semantic wiki-configurable styles for media display does this, in a more general way which also captures other semantic properties of the image (like "is this a lead image", or "should this be displayed full-width", etc).

I'd be happy to close this in favour of T90914: Provide semantic wiki-configurable styles for media display. @Fjalapeno, @Jhernandez: Cool?

Sounds good to me. An interim solution for the current way of getting thumbnails/changing url sizes would be useful too I think.
