Forgive the delay in responding.
Itsosticky was designed from the outset to be an image sharing service with community potential, contrasted with image hosting, it's a service that facilitates quick sharing of an image or screenshot with a friend or group.
When used for its intended purpose, direct sharing, as opposed to free hosting for hotlinking, there are features that make it worthwhile sharing an Itsosticky resource URI rather than a direct link to an image file. For example, zoom capabilities, that some people may find superior to those available natively in a web browser, albums and easy social sharing links, and not least, fast uploads from phones without the need for a dedicated app.
All users are invited to publish their images to the gallery for greater social participation or exhibition.
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoNone of what you've said here makes you stand out from your biggest problem: Imgur. None of those features are groundbreaking or even original. And how are you going to monetize? Running this service won't be free.
- emily_b 11y agoImgur isn't a problem, and this shouldn't be a problem for Imgur. There are similarities, but that's mostly due to necessity in good UI. If people prefer Imgur, they should certainly use Imgur. I can't comment on what might be right or wrong with other sites, not in the capacity of someone promoting a competing product. Itsosticky is fast (server hardware permitting), modern, has no advertising at all at the moment, and no third-party sharing widgets. I can't discuss plans for monetisation - there are none as yet.
