Show HN: I made a private self-destructing image hosting site in Golang

4 hours ago

Picburn is a private image sharing service that creates self-destructing links.
Images are not stored because the server cannot afford storage; links expire after a timer or view limit.
Only people with the link can view the image, as links use long random IDs and pages are not indexed by search engines.
The 'burn after reading' feature allows setting a view limit of 1 for one-time viewing.
Supported uploads include PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP files up to 15 MB, with no account or sign-up required.
There is no manual delete button; users can choose a short timer or 1-view limit to ensure early removal.

Kiln is a desktop app for batch converting, resizing, compressing, and renaming images.
