@gr36 @pratik ImageKit has been totally solid (and free) for the past few years that I’ve been using them for my Blot site’s images. Here’s the shortcut in question.

@jarrod Ah! I saw ImageKit in one of your shortcuts and thought it was part of Apple LOL! I’ve bookmarked your post and will look into this later tonight. One of the reasons I’ve been reluctant to move blog hosting sites is coz of images and hence also didn’t want to use Blot for my entire blog coz I don’t have a paid DropBox account.

@pratik That was one of my considerations too. It would probably take a long time to fill up my 2GB free plan on Dropbox, but I wasn’t sure and didn’t want to risk it. As I remember, ImageKit measures by bandwidth, but I’ve never come close to the free monthly allotment.

@jarrod Looked into this. Two Qs:

  • can the URL of your image be set to your custom domain in case you decide to move CDNs in the future or is it tied to Imagekit?
  • are you planning on adding your AI-enabled shortcut for generating alt-text to this shortcut?

@pratik Looks like using a custom domain is part of their paid plan (link). And yes, I actually have that working on own version, but haven’t updated the public version to do it yet. I can show you how to add that in if you start using it before I update the shortcut.

@jarrod Ah! Of course, it was going to be in the paid plan. It’s kinda steep just for hosting blog images.

And I’ll wait for your public version. I’m still trying to get the other one you created to work flawlessly at my end.

@pratik Haha yeah, thus the free plan for me. For hosting on your own domain for cheap and with good API/shortcuts support, hard to beat Micro.blog in my opinion.
