it would be great to have it in the web apps, since we can't have a upload button for media, but it's a centralized api so I guess it's not possible. But we should probably link it in Seedit's about page and Plebchan's FAQs, in a section to explain how to share direct links to media, and how media is embedded in the clients. This FAQ/about section could also get linked to from the submit forms, with some [?] button.
I guess the thumbnail fetcher on android kind of does the same thing.
on android, if the user posts some website link, we could fetch the image and suggest he uses the direct link of the image instead. not super high priority it's a pretty minor UX improvement, maybe it would even be annoying.
