I wonder, is this information so confidential the creator doesn't want to answer this?
I'm not sure what to answer here. Cloudflare allows this type of content, and the VPSes aren't storing the uploaded content.
Hi! I love your product page and was wondering where you got the vector art for the core features card. I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find a good source for them
Hi, A bit late to the thread but was wondering where you got your art for the top of the page? They’re useful little diagrams I’d love to hire person who made those

Not sure what to answer? I asked where do you host it. Where do you store your data, (quite obviously) user uploaded images. That's why I asked about nsfw

I have some experience helping previous jobs block bandwidth abuse from user uploaded content. That lead to inadvertently finding some pretty bad content. I would figure out some way to have someone else review the content or at least some kind of automated scanner you can use to pre-check the reported content before reviewing it yourself. Some stuff is hard to unsee. Edit: I wonder if a local LLM (to help with priva…
You absolutely have a point. But for me, I'm not sure how to balance privacy and safety. Is my service really private at all if I'm handing off user files to a third party to do who knows what to scan for bad content, and potentially risk users through false positives? Edit: A local model could work, but that can be quite compute intensive and therefore expensive.

This is a legally...risky strategy. You built a cool thing but unfortunately when you put cool things online they get used for the worst possible purposes.
Yes, I understand there is an unfortunate risk. However, I oppose file scanning, and so do many users, as we've seen with the Apple scandal. If any content is uploaded that violates the terms of service and is reported, they will be deleted as soon as possible, and that user will almost certainly be permanently banned. The terms of service also limits my liability.
Your terms of service shields you from nothing. It doesn't limit your liability here at all.
This is quote nice. One of the things I've always liked about imgur is the ability to paste images from the clipboard as well as drag and drop onto the page.
>Unlike Imgur, Horizon has absolutely no ads, doesn't sell your data, has built-in security and privacy controls, and is fully focused on your file sharing needs. No social media or other bloat. Why and how is your service's financial future secured? I took a quick glance, and your free tier is perfectly adequate for most people. >Horizon allows you to quickly upload and store all types of files, from images and vide…
What devices are you using? I upload to imgur from my phone all the time. Just do it from a browser in desktop mode, you don't even have to login.

In 2016, Imgur raised $40 million in funding from investors, valuing the company at around $500 million. In 2021, Imgur was acquired by the media company, MediaLab, for an undisclosed amount, reportedly around $200-300 million. Alan Schaaf, the CEO and founder, reportedly owned around 40% of the company at the time of the acquisition, which would have netted him a significant amount, estimated to be around $80-120 mi…
"why does everybody here think that imgur is a failure" Because what everyone on the internet wants is a place that will just friggin hold images and respond to HTTP requests with that image "in light of OP's stated goals" because op seems to want to build a sustainable business, but at a certain scale it just becomes unsustainable because you become a CDN that is paid for per-seat. So they will inevitably need to ei…
But almost nobody on the internet wants to pay for anything. That’s the problem, hence all of the shenanigans around monetization.
Very clean and easy to use. 90% of my coworkers with “decades of experience” and “senior” in their titles would not even be able to build something like this in their full time. Let alone part or spare time.
Not to diminish the work of OP (the website looks really clean), but I don't think I know any serious experienced engineer who couldn't create an image sharing website
