A new image sharing service

Itsosticky is a brand new image sharing service with some ambition, just launched after a year of development.

More info is available here https://itsosticky.com/about

There are several things that make this different to other image sharing services. Itsosticky will quickly and automatically rescale images that are above a certain size threshold, with auto-orientation of JPEGs uploaded from phones. The layout is fully responsive, allowing for consistent URIs when shared across devices. It's light weight, with no advertising technologies.

Many of the images currently displayed in the gallery are simply placeholders dropped onto the site by helpful beta users, and there are surely bugs to address here or there, but by and large, Itsosticky is ready for use.

Thanks for taking a look. Feedback from mobile devices would be particularly valuable.

Please upvote if you think this service is worthwhile and deserves to go somewhere.

How do you plan on enforcing the no-NSFW policy? That seems close to impossible pre-monetization unless you spent most of that year training a neural network.

Could always use https://www.projectoxford.ai or something like it. I know Google just came out with an API for generating text descriptions of images. Perhaps if scanned images passed through this api were tagged with certain words, the images could be marked for moderation and not shown until approved.

How do you plan to monetize this?

Keybindings would be great. Also, it'd be nice to see points on posts.

A full year of development?

Common engineering fallacy: "I could have done that in 2 months". Why not two weeks? Or "two days using frameworks x and y"?

I don't know anything about the author but if he worked on this nights and weekends for a full year it seems about right to me (and great job)!

Though, maybe I'm not 10x enough to know better. :-)
