Moving Metrics with Better Mobile Images
Pinterest users come for the images. Because of that, we care about making sure the images load well. This talk examines the tricks we do to serve users better images. These optimizations decreased how much time users spent waiting on images, increased user engagement and even resulted in more daily active users (DAU). We'll also look into some optimizations that looked powerful, but that we decided not to implement. This talk is given from the perspective of working on a native Android app, but the lessons are applicable anywhere you want to display images.
