Hi all!

I just released https://piclog.blue, it's a site to upload JPEG pictures. You'll notice that the quality of the pictures is really bad! It's mostly to keep the size very small... but also because in a way, blurry pictures make it harder to identify us, and makes us focus on the pattern rather than the detail. I think there are many places where we can upload high quality pictures, so here's one to upload very low quality ones. :)

It's possible to fully customize the profile with CSS and to embed pictures to our sites. I hope you enjoy it!

I really like this idea! I'm about to start uploading some pics I took yesternight! Idea, maybe you could add a function to the site that removes metadata from the images on upload, for privacy but it could also be a cool way to keep the idea of focusing on the images.

Oooo I think this is my favourite one of your sites so far 

I ran into a few issues like a "413 Payload Too Large" issue (with nice comic-sans text  ) and another issue with files that have .'s in the name - but otherwise, it works really well! You might be able to do some local pre-compression in Javascript to allow bigger image uploads (particularly useful on mobiles that cant easily reduce size).

I would actually be really interested in making an app for this if you make an API for it  (Warning Iv never actually made an app - but i understand the theory  I still wanna do an iMood app too! )

Also, have you read In Defense of the Poor Image by Hito Steyerl (Iv been reading some of her newer writing today) it was the first thing that poped into my head!

man, as someone who genuinely loves old, nasty, unloved technology, this is right up my alley! pretty much everyone who's ever touched a computer immediately learns to hate crusty jpegs, but this site just totally goes against the grain and unabashedly, unironically embraces them. i'll totally be making an account and giving it a try - it feels like the image equivalent to status.cafe, which is a fun niche i'm glad to see filled.

i also agree with melon and would love to see an API available for it!
