I made this as a spinoff form DropJar (<a href="http://dropjar.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dropjar.com</a>) to allow users to easily share galleries of photos, What’s different from current image hosting sites ?<p>imgjar gives a near native experience on mobiles and touch pads as it automatically downloads the photos at the resolution which is compatible with the device used and it allows touch and swipe user controls. It also replicates the user photos to 3 different servers at least (more usually) and works on blazing fast SSD servers. Technologies used on the backend , Nodejs, Aerospike, redis, swift storage, graphicsmagick.
