https://raindrop.io provides this capability. I implore you to evaluate it.

What exactly do you mean? Can you explain in more detail? I am also a raindrop user and have an account there :) .

@bitboxer, when adding an entry, raindrop parses the external page to get the primary thumbnail, like this does. However, clicking on that thumbnail allows the user to choose between the other (prominent) images on the webpage, thus allowing the user to more easily choose the correct image should the wrong one be automatically chosen.

Ah yeah, I tried to figure out a way to do this, but haven't found a good solution yet. I don't want to have ALL images in the dialogue or download ALL images (or even the header of all images) to figure out the biggest ones. If you know a way that works reliably well without downloading tons of stuff, I would love to know that.

@bitboxer, if storage is a concern, but not necessarily bandwidth, all that the images would need be is cached for a few minutes after the user requests them when clicking the image.

There are numerous concerns. I would love to filter out images that are background images or otherwise only decorative ones. Offering hundreds of images might overwhelm users. So if you know a way to filter that list of images in a smart way, please help me :)
