I am working on a simple image-hosting service. Imagine Imgur, but you can backlink. Additionally, you can resize, crop, and optimize images on the fly. Here's a sample PNG being served as WEBP[1] reduced from 1.5MB to 75KB (no visible reduction in quality, original image [2])
Not a sexy idea, of course. However, I couldn't find any solution that fit my needs for my SSG blog. Services like Cloudinary, and Imagekit are too developer-focused, and popular image sharing websites like Imgur don't allow backlinking.
