You may want to list clearly somewhere which types of digital asset you support, because different industries have different ideas about that. This only handles images, correct? And not video, audio, Office documents, PDFs, 3D models and animations, CAD/CAM drawings, PCB layouts, web pages, or code?

you are right, it's only images in the alpha-version, we should make that clearer. we are working on the integration of audio and video next.

thanks for the feedback!

Congrats on the alpha, that's always an exciting time. Given this is an open source project, I think some clearer documentation about the system architecture and components would be a great improvement. I'd also want to know up front where my assets are being processed. I had to dig into the code a bit to find the imagga tagging functionality. Some users may feel uncomfortable uploading assets to a third party if you're not absolutely up front about where the data is being sent. I'm curious about the built in CDN, so documentation on that would help me make an informed decision on using this product.

Your site does not work on mobile. It's impossible to scroll At least in Vivaldi mobile.

It is the visual design. The design seems scrollable but it isn't. Suggestion for the team - terminate the image by wrapping in a container of sort and not touch the bottom browser chrome.

My personal approach, especially these days, with Open Source solutions, is not just to go start hosting it ourselves. I wish to have a hosted version, and I start by trial or pay but with the peace-of-mind feeling that I can bring it in-house and host it ourselves. Honestly, I don't trust myself to maintain critical infrastructures.

I was looking for something similar, but I'm not ready to start doing it myself. I would love a hosted version.

On a nostalgic note, I think yours is akin to the story of how Flickr started - Image hosting was a side thing that they needed and it went on to become a product on its own.
