Image quality dropped unexpectedly

This is due to the work Adalo are doing on performance improvements.

  • I mentioned this in a support ticket also
  • it looks especially bad in preview on a desktop computer
  • When you publish to a mobile device it’s improved much better
  • There is a flag that Adalo have coded that looks at the device resolution (in the URL parameter of their images it’s called DP=1, they need to double it to DP2. The performance gains are important but not at the expense of the images looking soooo bad.

Here is the roadmap item they are working on for this:

The dev team is using imgix image hosting service and has implemented compression settings. There is a parameter in the URL string in the image list component called “dpr=1”. This is the device pixel ratio and it works fine when a build is created on iOS set to 1. On a desktop device it needs to be set to at least 2 or the images are too low quality and very pixelated.
