💡Describe your Feature request

Nostr is a twitter/facebook clone. It's becoming popular and will eventually overtake them all. Why? because it's decentralized and no one can ban you. You can also make money on it using Bitcoin.

In order to make an account you have to go to https://iris.to/ then go into the settings and export your nsec(password) Then download the Amethyst app and use your nsec to login. You can use other apps as well. It's not your normal email and password type social media.

Here is a screenshot of what Nostr looks like. (Like facebook and twitter feed)

In facebook and twitter when you upload media. The media is uploaded on their servers. On Nostr since they have no servers. You either have to use your own image/video hosting or use someone else's image hosting. There is already Nostr image/video hosting websites popping up. The price is cheap. Price is in Satoshi.
The nostr.build website has no relation to Nostr Social Media. The Nostr Social Media is not an actual company.

On Nostr when you upload media they have an "upload" button. Except you have to add the media server/image hosting website in your settings. Nostr.build seems to be the default media server. It's free but if you want more space then you need a plan.

When you want to add an image to your post you can see a choice of media servers.

👏Where did you saw this?

I have been using Nostr for about a year and i have been uploading media using nostr.build the free version. It wasn't until recently that they added support for media servers in the settings.

Another programmer created his own Nostr Wordpress plug-in. You install the plug-in to your WordPress and then connect your npub into the settings. Then go into the Amethyst app settings and add your website wordpress domain and BOOM. Now you can automatically upload images and vidoes straight from the app and the images/videos are hosted on your wordpress. I looked into wordpress media and i saw all my media uploaded there. I no longer needed to depend on nostr.build or other hosting companies.

Here is his plugin:

That got me thinking. I later realized that i can upload images/videos on my Chevereto website then take the direct link and include it into my Nostr post and then it shows up in my post just by using the direct link and its hosted on my webiste. So i know longer need to use nostr.build. I can host my own media!

Adding support for nostr by adding it through the media server settings is more of a convience. So i don't have to go my website first and upload the media then return back to the app and post the link.


🔥Interest outside our community

There is interest inside the Nostr community of wanting a company to host their images/videos. Since Nostr has no servers then we will forever need to host our media somewhere.
This might also interest Chevereto administrators to open up or charge nostr users for using their Chevereto website or bring in sales of Nostr members wanting to buy Chevereto to host their own media.
 
I'm all for it, after all, giving users the choice of image / video / content providers is what drives the world wide web. You got my vote 👍🏼
