Built-in dynamic image resizing in Ghost is very powerful. One big missing thing is making it smarter in case of cropping images with different ratios, especially to get thumbnails. I think it’s a very common need to have a smart cropping feature to avoid cutting point of interest in an image, like a face or an object. This is especially very critical for the news website which photo is a key content for them.
Technically speaking, nowadays this is not a big challenge as well. I think smartcrop.js is already mature and good enough to trust it’s output. It’s using Sharpjs as same as Ghost. And of course this feature should be optional.
If we see a positive signal from the Ghost team on this matter, I would also be happy to open such a PR.
