Was previously using Imgur for images for my blog because I didn't want image files in my git repo. But now it's banned in the UK 🤦‍♂️

"Vibe coded" a nice little Laravel app that I might wrap up using @nativephp.com as a desktop app - it just uploads the images to Cloudflare R2 and shows the MD code

Always give service workers five stars. If you have to rate them, unless you literally died, give them five stars.
