A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Browsing programmatic IPFS solutions...

Pretty fed up with the steep pricing curve that Pinata offers
NFT.storage is great, however their API is under maintenance
web3.storage looks great so far

Are there any other solutions out there that are worth investigating?

I've also felt this, for smaller/hobby projects, $20/month in perpetuity is just too much if your project isn't generating income

depends on the project, both potentially. examples of things I've tried to do:

- personal image gallery on my website, probably more likely to hit the 1gb limit first
- small time NFT platform where people can create free open editions, assuming < 100 users but may hit either limit pretty quickly

Is it the file count limit or the 1GB storage that you feel hampers hobby projects?
