Image Optimization GitHub Action

[humphd]

When a user uploads their photos to be shared, we need to optimize them. I think this should include the following:

• remove any GPS information. We might want to make this an optional thing later on, but to start, let's remove it, since most people don't know their images have tracking information in them. Something like imagemagick can do it with --strip
• generate different sizes of each image for various common breakpoints/devices on the web
• use various encoders (WebP, AVIF, JPG) to take advantage of newer browsers

There are probably other things we can do too.

When the optimization is done, we should have both the original photos and optimized photos in different directories.

I would like to create a demo to do this task. I found two libraries that could do metadata extraction and image resizing.
ExifReader - Metadata extractor
Sharp - Image resizing

I'm not sure how I should implement to merge with other parts. Please let me know if you have any expectation on this issue.

Start by creating shell scripts that can do this in Unix. When we run this, we'll do it on an Ubuntu cloud instance in GitHub Actions.

Hi @Genne23v, I am just checking if this issue is still being worked on.

@batunpc, I have seen his blog post. I think he's working on this issue.
