Theia-Web, a continuiation of Theia, is an web-based image manipulation tool that allows its users to edit their images, on the fly, from their browsers.
This tool was made using Python's Django web framework.

Theia, from ground up, was built to allow its back-end server to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to image processing. In other words, no processing is done on the client/browser side, almost everything is off-loaded to the back-end server.
Once the user chooses the image he wished to edit, the image is compressed and uploaded to the back-end server where it is stored for the user's current session.
Each time a user requests an operation, the already stored image on the server side is processed and resent to the user, i.e the user has to download his image, after processing, each time he request an operation. This would arguably lead to slow response time if the image's original size is too large and the user's internet connection isn't fast enough.
