Bigger Thumbnails

[Teifun2]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the image of a recipe is once scaled town and cut to a square to create a thumbnail. This Thumbnail has a very low resolution.

Describe the solution you'd like
For Apps or other Clients it would be great to have a wider variety of thumbnail Resolution, to suit different devices.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If we don't store higher resolution thumbnails we always need to download the full image for devices with a big resolution. This is traffic intensive but would work.

If it would be ok to do that, i could create an initial pull request to implement that.

If you want to take a first attempt, you are welcome to do so. There might be some changes soon (e.g. #340) but that will take some time until implemented. Just be aware to not put too much effort into it as it might get updated anyways.
Just assign yourself with this issue to mark it "in progress".

Hmm the #340 Is very interesting.

It depends a little. Do you know how long it will take to incorporate these changes? If it is 1-2 Months i might wait for my changes but its something more like a year i probably will change it for the short term!

@Teifun2 In #413, I implemented lazy-loading for thumbnails in the recipe lists. While already dealing with this stuff, I changed the default thumb size to 256x256. What resolution do you have in mind?

[Teifun2]

@seyfeb Oh wow thats great to hear! I think bigger thumbnails are always "better" ^^
I was thinking that we could maybe add different "sizes" and load on demand what fits best. But thats quite a lot of work!
I'm very happy if i have 256 images :D

We might want to define a set of sizes we want to have and create these in the background upon the implementation of #340.
