Congrats on the launch! But, something that stops me from using a number of services is the sale of fixed size plans where I'll typically either under utilize them (e.g. do I have 100 GB of screenshots to upload) or I'll over utilize and might not have an upgrade path immediately available for more storage. I tend to toss my photos in backblaze or S3 for this reason -- UX is severely lacking but I pay for what I use.…
> 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. This is exactly how imgur started. It was a reddit user, providing a service for fellow redditors. I am not being snarky. As others have said, media hosting can never really be free.
Are there any plans for Windows App support? There are more Windows 10 and 11 users than all iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS users combined

The marketing says that this is an Alternative to Imgur, but the product doesn't feel like an alternative to Imgur, it feels like an alternative to OneDrive. It shares more features with Gyazo, the other product you compare it to, but I don't see it being a solid upsell. Is marketed to Imgur users as a better alternative for broadly sharing memes on the Internet, and if so why is privacy and encryption important? Cou…
You're comparing Horizon to cloud storage services, which I think is unfair. Horizon is focused on the sharing aspect. Uploading to Google Drive and OneDrive is not as effortless as Horizon and won't provide the same frictionless viewing experience for whoever you share the links to. Horizon is actually cheaper than alternatives, including Gyazo and Streamable, as said in another person's comment. Global encryption i…
Yeah...
It's nice that you get a business opportunity out of this, but one of my first thoughts was how easy it used to be to host images on Dropbox. But they made it bad, and the other big syncing services have the same bad experience. They clearly don't want to be image hosts.

So... it's an S3 bucket with a CDN?

Not even Open AI, which arguably has the resources to programmatically "look" at images and know if they are okay, wants to do image hosting. That should give you pause. What do their lawyers know that you don't?
