Developer use cases

  • The most immediate opportunity I can see would be an "image zoom" feature. Initially, being able to hover over an image and have that image zoom in, could be cool! Another option would be offering multiple predetermined "zoom zones", where clicking an option would zoom the image to that zone. Both examples above demonstrated here: https://codepen.io/aarontgrogg/pen/XJdqwBB The *ideal* would be if it could zoom in to the portion of the pic you are hovering over, but that would require at least *some* JS, to track and pass the current x/y to the CSS custom properties... Yes, *some* JS, but certainly less than we use now for the same feature! The most immediate opportunity I can see would be an "image zoom" feature.
