    I couldn't really find any open source project that allowed you to easily host images. So I decided to create one.

    Up1.ca is the simplest file hosting application you'll find on the internet. You just have to drag-in the file you want to share and the application will handle it. You can share any file you want with your friends in a more secured way as the file is encrypted on the client...

    A minimalist read-only Imgur proxy insipired by software like Invidious, Nitter, and Bibliogram. This service does not use the official Imgur API because I reject the notion that normal HTTP GET isn't a valid way to access a public website.
