It's read-only and works without JavaScript. Images and albums can be viewed without wasting resources from downloading and running tracking scripts. No sign-up nags.

## Features

- URL-compatible with i.imgur.com - just replace the domain in the URL
- Images and videos (~~gifv~~, mp4)
- Galleries with comments
- Albums
- User page
- Tag page
- Bandwidth efficient - automatically use WebP with the `FORCE_WEBP` environment variable

Some things left to implement (contributions welcome!):

- [x] Streaming (currently media is downloaded in full in rimgu before it's returned)
- [ ] Localization/internationalization
- [x] Pretty CSS styling (responsive?)
- [ ] Support for other popular image sites
- [x] Filtering and exploration on user/tags pages
- [x] Responsive scaling of videos on user/tags pages
- [x] Logo

Things that are considered out of scope:

* Uploading, commenting, voting, etc - rimgo is read-only.
* Authentication, serving HTTPS, rate limiting, etc - Use a reverse proxy or load balancer like Caddy, Traefik, or NGINX.
* Anything requiring JavaScript or the client directly interacting with upstream servers.
