nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w can I make an expiring image upload ?
Discussion
Are you making snapchatstr?
paid accounts have deletion so you could probably ask for expiring images on paid accounts
Seems like this would be beneficial to nostr build even on unpaid
in what way? most people don’t even know the media host they use
it also comes with other problems like moderation also
they also need to provide some value proposition to paid users which could be also expiring media
Depends on how much you are willing to pay for it. 🤣😂🤣
But, on a serious note, it will have real and nontrivial costs associated with it. Technically it is not the most complex thing to implement and will highly depend on the use case and requirements:
- Minimum desired length of time
- Maximum desired length of time
- Media types
- Strictness of expiration
- Ability to “resurface”
Depending on the problem you are trying to solve, it may have impact on implementation. Complexity and maintenance will add additional costs, as well as longer term consequences of lingering dead links (hits are not free for us). If you are interested in making Damus exclusive feature, then let’s talk and see where it takes us.
