NIP-96 Image Uploading

[alltheseas]

user story

As a media enjoyer that regularly peruses Damus, I would like a way to upload images directly from Damus that I host myself, so that I can increase my sovereignty.

acceptance criteria

1. Damus user can self-select as a default setting a self-hosting option in lieu of Damus default hosting image service
2. Implementation follows NIP-96 spec - authentication, deletion, expiration etc.

project will focus entirely on self-hosting for users and I will channel my efforts to promote NIP-96, first implementing it and then encouraging its use.

This way nobody else will have to ask nostr clients developers to add their server or services, it will be a decision to be taken by the users.

This is pretty important! We can then use this for deleting images you've accidentally uploaded.

If I can help in any way let me know. I have participated in the adaptation of several nostr clients 😀

It would be nice to support uploads this way, as there are many compatible hosts:
