Show HN: I made a no-bullshit image host
Glad this exists. Still does not replace imgur.<p>You just need a free tier. No way out of that. I am not paying you even $0.01 if I need to upload 2 memes and share it with 5 people. I can afford it but not gonna happen. Here is ideas: make it a subscription. Allow free hosting with no registration but let the image expire (unhost) after N views and rate limit clients. Don&#x27;t freaking ask me for my email. No, I do not care what your reason is kind sir. It is 2020 basically, don&#x27;t ask me for my email. Just process the payment and give me a key I can use for futue uploads,ask me to optionally email but man i hate that so much. I don&#x27;t see why I need any account other than an access token,but even if I do why do I need to give yet another imposing site my email? How about random 5 character subdomains for for payinf accounts and a premium fee for being able to choose the subdomain? All images uploaded with a token get the same subdomain?<p>Look, I haven&#x27;t looked too deep into what you do and your business model but with imgur I can still upload pictures for free,which I can link to directly and I quite like being able to share it and have others up&#x2F;down vote it as a post. You don&#x27;t do that. Imgur was specifically started because the founder, much like you was frustrated with all the b.s. image hosting options available when uploading to reddit. Right now only people who care about not being the product will pay to use this. Even though I am very much one of those people I can never use it since I am not a frequent image uploader. From what I have seen it replaces imgur as much as a dirt cheap shared webhost does.<p>But I do applaud your api and acceptance of btc payments. And I subjectively am not impressed by your UI either. Just not attractive.<p>Fyi: I made these comments tk try and provide honest critique that might be useful to OP.
