rimgo
An alternative frontend for Imgur. Based on rimgu and rewritten in Go.
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
Some things left to implement (contributions welcome!):
- Streaming (currently media is downloaded in full in rimgu before it's returned)
- Localization/internationalization
- Pretty CSS styling (responsive?)
- Support for other popular image sites
- Filtering and exploration on user/tags pages
- Responsive scaling of videos on user/tags pages
- 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.
