Why I built an image hosting(x02)

I needed a simple way to host images for my own projects and reuse them across different sites. The goal was to upload an image once and use a stable link without worrying about it changing later.

One thing I specifically wanted was image URLs that felt identifiable, including the option to use my own name or namespace instead of relying on random-looking links.

Over time, I added only what I needed: an upload dashboard, history management, optional watermarking, API access, and CDN-backed delivery. The result became x02, which continues to evolve based on practical needs.
