If chevereto has RSS feeds, then I can use IFFFT.com to automate my twitter, tumblr, facebook, blogger, etc, etc shares! Then I wouldn't need to click all those buttons every time I upload an image.

If chevereto has an user follow option, then it would make RSS feeds even better!

I haven't noticed any use of feeds either in Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest and Photobucket. The only guys who use feeds seems to be imgur and 500px and they use it just for featured images.
 
RSS feeds are useful in a community driven environment where one can follow another user or community. Right now I am using an external site such as tumblr or twitter to share all my uploads so my followers can keep updated. There is currently no feature in Chevereto to allow users to get updated on most recent activity through a feed aggregator. This is why I suggested RSS feeds. For example, I use RSS feeds from this forum to keep me updated on all the posts here. 🙂
 
I agree, IFTTT.com is great for handling RSS feeds and updating all your other pages. Without titles or any text, you really will not have much content to post via an RSS feed except the image and url to view it. For promotion of a new image hosting site it would probably help to get the word out about your free hosting. But in the long run you would probably end up flooding IFTTT since it only checks every 15 minutes for changes. If your site gets busy, say an image uploaded per minute during busy times....IFTTT would start missing the posts because of the limits.

I've just upgraded to v3.43 and have to take a look, but I don't think a title/description field when uploading was ever created. Its only for registered accounts and you have to edit each and every photo individually if you want to have a title for a photo. Basically the most data you will probably have is the image URL, date and time. Not much for a RSS feed.

This would be rather easy to create with php and a direct connect to the sql database, completely outside of the Chevereto system and theme. You would just have to be very careful to protect your sql connect code so its not viewed by a 3rd party and your entire site hacked.
 
Yes, I understand your point about titles and that's why my RSS feed would only export images that would have titles in them and not the entire image database. The thing about exporting from the sql database is that Chevereto does not store the image viewer's url page in sql. It has to be worked through routes which I have no knowledge about. So I guess I'm just waiting for this feature to be implemented so I can get an idea on how it is supposed to work.

Usually you don't store in the database things that are deviated from the same data. In this case the image ID is converted to Public ID (the alphanumeric thing) using the CHV\encodeID(); so that converts "1" to "nB" and the viewer URL is /image/nB. As you may guess CHV\decodeID(); converts "nB" in "1".
