I wrote Tractor Loader because I wanted an easy way to alter images on my NextJS site without leaving my editor, and I wanted it to be a build-time solution to avoid any runtime performance penalties. I also wanted to explore what it was like publishing an npm package which I had never had the opportunity to do before now. Tractor loader is very little code; it's mostly just a wrapper around Sharp (https://github.com/lovell/sharp). An interesting thing about it is I used CoPilot and ChatGPT extensively to help with development, and I tested the documentation by asking Bing's LLM questions about the documentation. I should really credit them as Makers 😂.

Very nice, I'll definitely make use of this. It always bugged me that the Next.js component scaled on-demand, and yet I don't usually want to do a full static export.

@cybercody Thanks, if you have any ideas for what else it should do let me know; right now it's the minimum I need for my own blog refresh I'm working on :P
