Hey everybody, founding father of CloakShell right here.

In case you handle a group stuffed with creators, photographers, or simply folks utilizing fashionable iPhones, the ache of customers making an attempt to add HEIC or AVIF recordsdata & getting a generic "File format not supported" error. They then need to go use a sketchy third-party converter website simply to put up a photograph in your chat.

We spent the previous few weeks rebuilding our media ingress pipeline to repair this.

As of at this time, you’ll be able to drag and drop HEIC & AVIF recordsdata straight into any CloakShell channel, DM, or discussion board. We deal with the heavy lifting on the backend so that they show completely.

We additionally fully overhauled our video processing. Movies are actually ready robotically for clean streaming playback throughout all gadgets, quite than forcing customers to obtain a large uncooked MP4 file simply to observe a 10-second clip. (You may see a demo of the brand new playback velocity within the hooked up video). cloakshell.com

For the devs/product folks right here: media processing at scale whereas sustaining strict, zero-tracking privateness is a large infrastructure problem. How do you all presently deal with fashionable picture formatting (HEIC/AVIF) in your tech stacks?
