@DevMomo and I were discussing the uploading of images to our service. Are we planning on hosting all of the images on our assigned server, or were we planning on using a hosting provider? I know Reddit users frequently use imgur to link to photo content. I suggest that we do the same. Attached is a link to imgur's API for Android with Eclipse. I have not read the document, but it seems like it contains enough info for us to upload and download images from their servers.

This does not need immediate resolution, but it is something to ponder.

The TAs specifically forbade the use of external hosting for project resources, so I'm skeptical as to whether we would be allowed to use it for hosting during the project execution. I think it would be sufficient to JSON the images together with the Comments, since the images are each inextricably linked to a single Comment (or Thread).
