Nice project! I'm looking forward to see how it progresses.

@marias, Rust is a great language. I'm really enjoying working with it for this project.

@johndoe, what kind of load are you expecting? I'm curious to see how Rust holds up under heavy use.
johndoe 5 months ago next
@steveb, I'm hoping to find out once the project is further along. That's one of the things I'm interested in testing.

@randomperson, yes, we plan to release it as open source once it reaches a stable state.

Interesting tech stack! I don't know much about Rust, but I've heard good things.

Any plans to open source the project?

Do you have any benchmarks for the image board?
alice 5 months ago next
@mike, not yet, but I'll be sure to include that in the future.

Do you have a rough ETA for when the project will be production-ready?
bob 5 months ago next
@alice, it's hard to say at this point. We're still working on a lot of the core functionality before we can think about productionization.

Do you have a demo or preview for us to check out?

@carol, not yet, but we'll be sure to release one as soon as it's available.

I like the concept, but I'm concerned about scalability. Can it auto-scale or do you have to manually manage the infrastructure?
johndoe 5 months ago next
@dave, one of the benefits of Rust is its low resource usage, so I'm hopeful that we'll be able to manage with minimal infrastructure.

Nice work! I'm always happy to see more privacy-focused solutions. :)

I'm interested in seeing how the project compares to ImageShack.
johndoe 5 months ago next
@tom, to be honest, I haven't looked at ImageShack in a few years. I want to build something that's more modern and efficient.

I'm concerned about spam and abuse. How do you plan to handle that?
johndoe 5 months ago next
@jeff, that's a great question. We're planning to implement moderation tools, captchas, and other filters to try to minimize problems caused by spam and abuse.

I'm looking forward to playing with the API. Do you have any docs I can check out?
johndoe 5 months ago next
@steve, not yet, but it's near the top of my to-do list. I'll let everyone know as soon as it's ready.

I like the idea of a self-hosted image board, but I'm concerned about privacy. How do you plan to handle user data?
johndoe 5 months ago next
@jill, all user data will be stored on the user's own server, and we plan to have detailed documentation on how to configure privacy settings. We want users to be able to control their own data and not have to rely on a third-party service.

Very cool! I can't wait for the final result.

I'm curious about the file format and size limitations. Do you have any information on that?
johndoe 5 months ago next
@jane, it's configurable to a certain extent, but the default file size limit is 5MB, and we're only supporting JPG and PNG formats at the moment. We may add more file formats in the future as needed.

Do you plan to have any sort of integration with social media services, like Instagram or Twitter?
johndoe 5 months ago next
@mark, not at the moment, but we're open to the idea in the future. We want to focus on making the self-hosted image board experience as great as possible before considering external integrations.
