I really like this approach - here is another webpack module you're building - feels like there are a few of these in the project? Alongside the search idea ... love it!

thanks. i started to get worried about it, i wasnt sure for intsance, if doing a ton of API requests to fetch the media objects would kill the server or at least start throttling 😂

i might look to see how gatsby's doing it

for now - i was consdering thinking of a way to add the wordpress CDN to the links 🤔 the photon one

Interesting - an image CDN is great!

Does WP have a free CDN or would we push toward Cloudinary or similar?

[colbyfayock]

yeah it's that Photon link https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/photon/

the pattern is:

http://i0.wp.com/$REMOTE_IMAGE_URL

I'm not sure of the restrictions, but it would be technically coming from wordpress content

i think hvaing documentation on how to use something like cloudinary would be valuable though - but im hoping to make the starter as service-free to start as possible, that way someone can get up and running with just a simple worpress site

Closing this simply because it wouldn't be merged in "as is". it's linked in the issues to derive any value from it as a POC
