There could be a counterparty app that run a webserver to accept these POST requests and save the images.

If the parameters were editable people could use the app to share to imgur and other sites alike.

This is great. I wish there were more of this.

"Sharing" is only good if you can share through standard methods. Call APIs when sharing, share to arbitrary servers etc.

    Thanks for the kind words! That was definitely my intention with making this. It’s open source as well so let me know if you have any feedback or feel free to just fork/PR.

      Oh, I have zero experience in iOS stuff. I would like to do something for Android, but my experience there is less than 1. Maybe I'll try something in the future, then I'll come back here.

Nice work. I like the simplicity. That its OSS and thus can be (hopefully) used to build a more streamlined (ie preset URL) version is a nice bonus!

    Thanks! It currently does save and prefill URLs but you’re right, it’d be easy to hardcode the URL if you always want to use the same one.
