imgrs

Imgrs is a free and open-source alternative Imgur front-end focused on privacy.

Inspired by the Invidious, Nitter, and Teddit projects.

• No JavaScript or ads
• All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Imgur
• Prevents Imgur from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
• Lightweight
• Self-hostable

This is a Rust rewrite of a previous Imgur proxy project, Omgur.

Features roadmap

• Direct image loading via https://i.imgur.com/
• Imgur album loading via https://imgur.com/a/
• Imgur gallery loading via https://imgur.com/gallery/
• Imgur post loading via https://imgur.com/
• Redis caching for images
• Proper embedding of videos on albums/galleries (direct loading already works)
• Mock tests of the functionality
• Docker image
• Automatic GitLab CI/CD pipeline

Far-future roadmap

• Render comments on Imgur posts
• Frontpage imgur url form
• Public API endpoints
