A couple of years ago, I had wished for a service that still remains unfulfilled.

I want a service that serves static contents for independent blogs. For example, serve all images for your blog posts.

@jsonbecker Yeah, kind of. But experience is to making image posting for blog seamless. If integrated in editors, brilliant.

@amit micro.blog does this. I think a fair number of blogging systems have options to use a CDN.

@jsonbecker Yeah, but if I switch domains/platforms, things tend to break. That's why better separate from the blog host? It's like a host for assets, if that makes sense.

@amit I guess. But any export/import process would include images. Lots of hosts and processes have asset pipelines to CDN. I guess I don’t really know why I’d want independent media management from hosting and/or CMS, and CDNs can be activated at either of those levels without really impacting portability.

@amit also lots of people will use like cloudflare CDN for assets but it just requires building your own distinct upload and give me back my URL process to drop into content. Pretty sure you can get your URL (with a CDN subdomain).

@jsonbecker Hmmm. Thank you for these inputs Jason 👍🏽 Let me check these -- may be I am overthinking the problem.

@amit I think so— almost all CDNs can be pointed to your own domain and you can migrate domains etc.
