Image Share

Purpose

This project allows users to upload images (.jpg or .png) to be accessible and sharable online at a user defined path.

How it's done

When the user attaches an image file, the file is sent to the server where it is trimmed of any extraneous information that may make it not work correctly, then stored in a MonogDB database. When the user goes to domer.dev/i/<custom path>, the server will fetch the image from the database and send it to the page.

Demo
