rafbgarcia··on Image optimizer (2x+ cheaper than Vercel images)
I created this service to use at my company and wondered if others would also find it useful and benefit from it.

Vercel images are too expensive IMHO, USD 5 per 1000 images. No-go for my use case of 100k+ images.

I could price this at USD 2 per 1000 transformations, mainly to help others in the same situations as the monetary return would not be expressive.

Created a quick MVP to validate interest.

Negative/constructive/positive comments are welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing!

Speaking about chrome extensions reminded me of this nice project I saw recently, in case you find useful!

There are some services out there like https://uploadcare.com/ and https://www.filestack.com/ but they offer lots of stuff and are not cheap.

My idea is to have an APIaaS and offer simpler ways to integrate with one or multiple providers. Files could be saved to the customers' accounts.

Features could include transformations, compression, conversion, spend management and insights, etc.

Not sure if that sounds appealing to others but I would have used such a service on my previous serverless project if there was such a service with reasonable pricing.

Great idea! What did you use for designing the UI?
