Writing an Craft plugin for imgix? I have started using imgix on some non-Craft sites, and it’s bloody awesome. It’s a bit similar to Craft in the way you apply transforms to a master image, and those transforms are done on-demand and then cached for future use. Only with imgix the transforms are done in the cloud and stored on their global CDN. Now I was thinking if it might be possible to write a Craft plugin to use imgix instead of the internal image handling code.

Any tips/pointers on how to go about this would be most appreciated!
Certainly seems doable to me. And the complexity would depend on how comfortable you are with PHP.

But roughly you'd follow the same format as the Aviary Image Editor plugin for Craft where you have the user enter their imgix API key from their account and store that in the database. Then your plugin would be a wrapper for the imgix API calling their web service methods whenever you need to interact with them.
