Image resizing

[viscid hatch]

I'm working on a very small project and thought I'd rig up a http action to generate thumbnails. It's behind a cdn and low traffic, so I'm not too concerned about workload. However, the only library that I've got to work is Jimp, which is exceptionally slow. Has anyone found an alternative? sharp and node-canvas both failed on install for me.

I got sharp to work for me after a couple tries, it failed until I externalised the packages using convex.json and also put 'use-node' on top of the file where the action function was

I had gotten as far as "use-node" but I hadn't heard of externalising packages yet

that worked. thank you @sonic basin !
