Hi everyone!
We’re gearing up to launch a Web3 multimedia platform designed specifically with the photography workflow in mind. In a nutshell, it’s IPFS pinning, image transformations and optimization, analytics, and copyright protection under one roof.
Right now, we’re in the private beta stage and looking for people willing to try it out and share their experience. Many of us on the team are photographers ourselves, so part of the inspiration was to create something to make our own workflow easier. But the ultimate goal is to make the app useful for many people, not just us, and that’s why absolutely all feedback is extremely valuable now.
If you’re interested, just leave a comment, and I’ll reach out to you with an invite to private Beta. Or if you’d like to look around yourself first, here’s more about the project: https://macula.link/
Ahhh, I see what you mean now. This is exactly our point too so once you have the link you can display it anywhere, be it a blog, comment section, git repo, etc.
Here’s an example link: https://u.stg.macula.link/LHIIkEFeTTOaRo1N8Pol4A-0
It looks a bit different and doesn’t have file extension but the point is the same.
If I do
it will work just like any regular image link.https://u.stg.macula.link/LHIIkEFeTTOaRo1N8Pol4A-0
Cool. I think some of the older places I use (that still use bbcode instead of markdown) break if you don’t have a file type in the actual url (I can’t check any time soon), but not hijacking the direct link is a good step.
I’d be interested in checking it out. Other things that would affect me actually using it full time would be the presence/quality of any tools to organize a library and what your pricing model eventually looks like. I’ve been flirting with self hosting my stuff but it’s just one of many projects I want to do and I never seem to have the time.
I appreciate the quick responses.
Hi, I checked the BBCode docs and examples and it seems it works with our Unified link right now,
Example: [img]https://u.stg.macula.link/LHIIkEFeTTOaRo1N8Pol4A-0?w=400[/img]. Here you can see that I am passing thewparams which stands forwidthand it renders it correctly on the playground https://codebeautify.org/bbcode-viewerIronically I see a placeholder question mark image in line in mlem because it can’t understand your direct link, negating everything you’re trying to sell in this comment. Seems like the core concept needs a bit more polishing.
Sure, it’s still an early stage so it’s guaranteed to have issues here and there. That’s the point of the private beta in the first place
