Finally and perfect. Thank you. This is a good technical reason. This could be solved of clients allowed custom media hosts to be added. Developers would need to get on board.

Yeah. I’ve referenced this many months ago, but I dropped it since devs were busy.

PicSur supports ShareX API for example. Now, Quentin was pointing out a NIP API for this. Clients would have to support it and allow a custom url entry first the endpoint.

Myself being willing to host others, I could use Quentin’s software and become a provider. All the techies could self host with software of their choice once the API was present in their software.

Even beyond that, technically the NIP allows multiple media providers to be added as we now do with relays, this is a huge change in the protocol.

My server will not be the only one, I am sure that others will adapt their API's and other installable solutions will be released.

The key is in the NIP and not so much in my server (which is not mine, it belongs to everyone, open source).

If you want we can look for a while and install it together, then once we update it to adapt to the NIP you will have it ready from the beginning.

We have a minetest pending by the way 😀
