Since it's a paid service, you should be more transparent about user privacy and security.

Upvoting you so someone who can buy this out sees it and does so.

Yes, mine. Even if I upload from my phone I'd want to back every image up to my NAS, see? I guess I'll sign up next time I would have uploaded to Imgur. Thanks.

Hmm, I should actually make it even better and add an RSS feed to your own images, or you can use the API to list the latest ones and download the ones you're missing (no need to keep redownloading everything every time).

rclone endpoint!!!

I do like the tone of barely suppressed rage. With a bit of advertising you can become the Pinboard of image hosting as others go through the failure cycle.

That might be a bit too involved :P

Thanks, I figured I might as well have fun with the copy on one of my side-projects, and this one seemed suitable.

I thought about doing this as a form of easily managed passive income.

But then I remembered: copyright takedown requests and child pornography. Keeping on top of bad actors with an image host sounds like a huge headache! And if you grow that means you have to hire people, and then how do you keep the price so low?

Good luck!

I like it. Imgur used to be fine but is now terrible. Specifically the nasty things they do to mobile browsers.

I now host my own images, but I will share this link with my friends who can't/won't selfhost images.

I am sorry you feel this way. Maybe try having different emotions?
