WebP | AVIF

[tlgimenes]

Hi folks, pretty neat project, congrats!

I'm building an image cdn for my project. This image CDN is pretty similar to how imagekit and cloudflare images operate. I want to:

1. Fetch an image from an external source (url) in png/jpeg format
2. Resize/crop the image
3. Encode into webp / avif depending on the brower's User Agent.

I can use photon for 1 and 2, however the step 3 is missing. I know Rust has support for this so it shouldn't be hard to add support for this in photon.
My question is: Would you be interested in a contribution adding support for webp/avif?

Thanks!

Thanks for replying @ccbikai!

I've ended up using jsquash for 3. However, it would be amazing to use photon for that. Also, apparently, rust has built in support for these format encoding, so it seems it's easy to add support for this.
