       Would it be better to save files as-is in a folder or store them in a db?I was reading an article saying db would be better for small images, but I dunno if there are other factors to consider.

       @woodcat Yeh my initial plan was to store a link to the image in the db and edit image src on load.Just curious if that's a shit idea.Also wondering if I should dump all images in one folder or give each user their own, but I don't think that one matter as much.

       @Paradox i think it's pretty normal just to store resource URIs in the db. Keeps the database from getting too big too fast, and gives you a lot of flexibility for encryption and filesystems or even using a cdn

       @Paradox Depending on how you want it to scale, object storage services like S3 are typically the best option, specially if you foresee having more, or a similar number of media objects than db entries
