There's a new frontend for Imgur called IMGIN[0] and it's great for viewing Imgur posts without all the tracking and having to view with JS turned on.<p>I was thinking: Since Imgur became so popular because of Reddit (and was eventually sold to Medialab later on), that Hackernews should have its own (unofficial fan based) image-sharing service. We could support the project with Patreon or Liberapay if needed.<p>There's always different services I've seen people use, and we can't seem to agree on which one to use. Many have questionable privacy and are monetized with privacy-invasive ADs to stay afloat.<p>I think images are sometimes a great way to explain concepts without resorting to words. There's plenty of tech-related memes I have stored up that I'd love to share, but would much rather share on an agreed-upon service that all HN'ers collectively like, instead of sketchy services.<p>Can we build this, or is that a huge ask?<p>[0] https://imgin.voidnet.tech/
I think you might over-estimate the appetite for 'tech-related memes' here. (I don't even see imgur links or others that 'we can't seem to agree on' all that much to be honest.)
> There's plenty of tech-related memes<p>I don't think that fits the HNs audience. Even the super tech <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=xkcd.com" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=xkcd.com</a> can hardly spark an insightful discussion.
