[tantek] if there are folks that include icons from other sites on theirs, e.g. in facepiles, could you add your example/experience here: https://indieweb.org/crop ?

#
[snarfed] cc GWG ^, the WordPress plugin does
#
[tantek] Yes that would be good to add to a Software section
#
GWG We only do it in CSS though
#
[tantek] GWG the method doesn't matter as much as the effect. User experience is more relevant than plumbing details
#
GWG Yes.

[jacky] https://github.com/danog/php-tokio 👀 (wouldn't seriously use this for anything but it does make me curious lol)

#
v​onexplaino [tantek]: Do they have to be cropped, or is any resizing etc. acceptable?
#
[KevinMarks] object-fit: cover is the usual answer, but cropping is tricky. You can do a "keep the detail" type crop, but that has pitfalls too. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit
#
[KevinMarks] another answer is a more flexible layout than a fixed-size box but that can be very odd for panoramas or very tall items
#
[KevinMarks] phanpy.social pans over the image if it is too big for the box

[tantek] crop << Brainstorming: one cropping technique is to use CSS, e.g. object-fit:cover https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit

Loqi ok, I added "Brainstorming: one cropping technique is to use CSS, e.g. object-fit:cover https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit" to the "See Also" section of /crop https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=89149&oldid=89148
