GIF Animation Fix: Preserve Original Behavior
- fix(feed): preserve GIF animation by bypassing proxy resize.
- Identified issue:
- GIFs were becoming static due to
images.hive.blog proxy resizing.
- Proxy was stripping animation frames during transformation.
- Solution implemented:

.gif images and skip resize processing in proxy.
- Bypass proxy resizing logic for GIF files.
- Ensure original animated GIFs are rendered correctly.
- Applied fix globally via shared
proxyImageUrl:
- Feed
- Lightbox
- Markdown renderer
- Trade-off:
- Slightly larger payload size accepted to maintain correct animation behavior.
