Built in image upload

Often when I want to add something to the list, it is something I see in a store. Then it would be much easier to directly upload to the site, instead of first uploading to something like imgur, then paste the link from there.

Especially not easy for other family members

Image uploads would be ideal, but it introduces a lot of complexity. Should this app also be an image hosting service?

I've decided that yes, Christmas Community should also be an image hosting service. It increases complexity but the benefit is worth it here.

But what service to use for storing image

We can store the files in a directory and serve them when requested. There's no need for s3 or anything since an instance won't have thousands of users.
