Introducing @internetguru - Created steemit photo hosting site - STEEMpic

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello ladies and gents David here and I just wanted to say hello, I am a web dev, tech nerd, internet guru, craft coffee drinker, hiker, and global traveler, and more... I plan on posting most topics in the relm of internet research or internet tech that helps with research. I think everyone should have a basic understanding of how to find things on the internet, and why are they there. Follow me as I post lessons and training on these topics.

It's my first day here and I became a bit frustrated when trying to post a few images in my first blog.  So I thought why don't I look into building a site that allows for uploads. To make the story short I am already contributing to the steemit community through the high-speed steemit-supporting site so we can all share our photos as we post which I developed and put online today called https://freephotoupload.com 

I bought the domain, tossed it on some hosting, which has unlimited storage and bandwidth, and setup the software and then configured it.

Then I used a free logo tool maker online and a few other photo editing sites like picmonkey and photor to tweak the theme.



When I jumped on here today I quickly realized many of the other photo hosting sites were buggy, very slow, or just didn't have what I needed to quickly (in under 5 seconds) upload an image and then grab the markdown or html link. 

Anyways I wrote a post about STEEMpic if you are interested at all check it out and let me know what you think.

How It Works

You simply go to the site, drag a photo onto the page, and click copy for the markdown or html link, that's it 5 seconds or less.


I ran some tests and I uploaded a 20mb photo and it took about 5 seconds to upload and 1 to 2 seconds to process the photo. Not bad for such a large image. 

I am looking for anyone that will test the site for me and comment or if they want to share it or post about it I will provide you with credit for helping out.

Looking forward to posting my journeys, up voting and replying to many other posts.
