I'd be happy to do any software development if that were helpful.
I've been thinking about how best to do it, on and off, for some time.

However, I don't think it's reasonable to require opt-out for images
that a large percentage of viewers don't want to see without warning.
If the people who want to see it can see it with just a click anyway,
they aren't losing anything if it's hidden by default.  Especially if
it's just blurred out.

Does that mean you disagree with me but aren't saying why, or that you
agree but aren't bothering to say so because you're sure it won't
happen?  The latter is where self-fulfilling prophecies come from.
