Why I built *yet another* image sharing site?

4 pointsby denibertovicover 12 years ago
I've built http://www.pixbin.us because I could not find any image sharing site out there that wasn't getting on my nerves in one way or the other.<p>I just wanted a way to quickly share an image on IRC (or some IM, or even twitter) without the need to register or login.<p>I wanted a site that <i>wasn't cluttered</i> with "recent photos" or &#60;insert social network here&#62; comments and likes and what not. When I shared (or received) an image I wanted to do just that, show an image to someone, on a clean uncluttered page via a shortened URL.<p>I didn't want to make any kind of albums or do any kind of image organizing. I wanted to post it, and then forget about it and let the image expire automatically after 24 hours.<p>Basically I wanted a Pastebin but for images. Hence, Pixbin. :) Hope you enjoy it.

Sorry just a minor minor typo on <a href="http://www.pixbin.us/api/docs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pixbin.us/api/docs/</a><p>'Base64 encode an image an post it on the above URL' needs an 'and' 'Base64 encode an image and post it on the above URL'<p>Silly I know, but if it was me I would want someone to point that out.

Looks nice :-)<p>The filename "Broken Forest Redux – 09.jpg" failed the upload. Once I've renamed the file to (ironically enough) "fail.jpg", it worked: <a href="http://www.pixbin.us/hw2yfv" rel="nofollow">http://www.pixbin.us/hw2yfv</a>
