@jarrod (If you find yourself getting replies from me to week-old posts, well, now you know why. 😅)

@gregmorris I’m gonna need a TL;DR on this post, Greg. 😜

@jsonbecker Really good stuff

@parkerortolani Welcome!

@pratik I think because I didn’t want people to have to download and configure another app to make my shortcuts work. But for personal use it’s pretty awesome.

Looks like yes on 5GB. After 4 years, I’m at 220MB stored, so quite a bit of runway at my current pace.

@gregmorris Haha I think the other guy is in the same boat

@gregmorris Yeah… but I can’t remember who is doing it and my search isn’t cooperating.

@gregmorris Can’t wait to see more of this. There are now two(!) native third-party apps for Mb in development. Always thought I would have to do it myself someday, but maybe not! 😅

@pratik I’m not sure about folders. Probably their API allows it, but I never go back into Imagekit for anything, so it all just lives in one bucket.

This version that I use, but haven’t polished or added the library, does include support for the alt text generator.

@pratik Thanks! I’m glad it worked for you.

• I think back then I was under the impression that PNGs were more web-friendly, even for photos. And it’s never caused an issue for me, so I’ve never thought to change it.

• I wanted people to have an easy way to see the full-size image file, so linking back to it was my brute force solution.

@pratik @maique Oh, and yeah, I had my Drafts actions set up so I could choose whether it was uploading to Micro.blog or Imagekit.

@maique Anytime! Happy to help.

@pratik I wrote this about the shortcut back in 2021. I’ve improved it a bit since then but this is the gist! (It should look familiar — it’s served as the foundation for all my shortcuts that upload stuff to Micro.blog.)

@maique As part of the process, I do run images through TinyPNG before they upload. Another consideration if you’re going full-size.

@maique I upload everything using their API via a shortcut, surprising no one. But it’s been rock solid for years. Truly a set it and forget it solution. (I honestly forgot they even had usage limits until I looked at my dashboard just now.)

@maique Pretty sure it’s per month. As far as I know, I’ve never come close to any limit. Granted, I post a fraction of the photos that you do, but for all of December my bandwidth was 6.1 GB.

@maique No Alt Text support? That’s a big ol’ bummer.

@pratik @maique I’ve been using Imagekit.io for years to host my blog’s images and have never paid them anything. (For HeyDingus, not my Micro.blog)
