Show HN: I made a private self-destructing image hosting site in Golang
A developer introduces a new, private, self-destructing image hosting service built with Golang. The tool emphasizes privacy and simplicity, allowing users to set view limits or expiration timers for uploaded images.
Why it matters
It provides a lightweight, privacy-focused alternative for temporary file sharing without the need for user accounts.
Drop an image. Get a private link. It self-destructs.
Link ready — anyone with it can view until it expires.
This preview is just for you and doesn't use up a view.
We are running this service on a small server. We literally cannot afford to store any images. If that is what you need, there are more suitable services out there.
Until the timer you pick runs out, or the view limit is hit — whichever comes first. After that the link stops working.
