# rimgu: image host alternative frontend

## rimgu is an alternative frontend / proxy for imgur

It's read-only and works without browser JavaScript. Images and albums can be viewed without wasting resources and anyonymity from downloading and running tracking scripts. No sign-up nags.

It's lightweight and easy to configure.

Inspired by and (soon) integratable with:

* [searx](https://github.com/searx/searx)
* [teddit](https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit)
* [Privacy Redirect](https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect)
* [nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter)
* [bibliogram](https://sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram/)
