S1-6 – Q1 Release!

Ayy, it's official – Q1 just dropped on main! 🚀
All the Q1 changes are LIVE, so you can go poke around (umm, click Demo?).

Since the last devlog:
Integrated Sentry logging – now Ghosty can cry in silence when bugs happen.
Fixed a ton of bugs (as always, duh 💀).
Debugged all Q1 tasks (finally, that sweet status: Done ✅).
Switched from old-school email + password logins to social logins only.
I mean, let's be real – who even remembers passwords anymore?
And not having a GitHub account in 2025? That's basically illegal.
(Don't worry, Google login is there too.)

API Docs are live too! Can't fully promise they won't break on you, but hey,
API v2 is already planned for Q2 – Ghosty's not sleeping. 👻

Love y'all,
Ghosty signing off ~

S1-5 – CLI & Q1 finale vibes

Soo... another devlog for today (I'm tired asf 🫠)

Fixed bugs → found more bugs → fixed those → guess what? more bugs.
Finally got to merging Q1 into main and was like, let's do this.
Opened a PR, felt proud… and then GitHub Actions said: bye. 💀

Apparently, turning CLI into an .exe wasn't gonna be that easy.
Long story short: failure, rage, rebuild.
But hey — it builds now, even if the exe tried to rage-quit on launch 💅

Also whipped up some API docs –
now you can actually learn how to use GhostCDN without guessing 😭
Still need to finish testing all the Q1 stuff —
so that preview label? Yeah, it’s still hangin' in there for now...

Anyway, I'm totally cooked 🧠🔥
Gonna sleep so I can ship Q1 properly tmrw. Final-final touches incoming.

Love y'all, gn 💜👻

S1-4 – Analytics are in the building

Yoo! Just pushed the Analytics tab live in the dashboard!
After the Q1 release you'll be able to spy on your API like a proper backend ninja.

Here's what went down:
Optimized API – snappier than ever
CLI got some love too – now with faster uploads
Squashed a bunch of bugs

Every feature from the Q1 Roadmap is now officially in review.
Next up: testing everything and shipping Q1 to prod 🔥

Let’s gooo 💜

S1-3 – Slight detour, big result: meet the GhostCDN Upload Tool 👻

Okay, okay—technically a CLI (Command Line Interface), but Ghosty isn’t sure what to call it yet. You just open the EXE, and boom—upload files, access dashboard, docs, settings... all in terminal style.

Since last update, here’s what I (and Ghosty) rolled out:
API Key generation (yes, finally!)
Auth middleware & rate-limiting (stay safe, friends)
Docs in progress...

Coming live with Q1 release:
Guest: 10MB / file, 14-day CDN links
Registered: 100MB / file, life CDN link (web)
API/CLI: Unlimited file size, life CDN link

GhostCDN Q1 is almost ready to haunt the web... stay tuned, fam 💜

S1-2 – Enhanced Storage Madness 💾

Yo yo! It’s time for another spicy drop from the GhostCDN bunker 👻💥

This time I went full ops mode and tackled one of the more chaotic areas — storage. You asked, Ghosty whispered, I built.

Here’s what we (I & Ghosty) just finished rolling out:
Bulk download support (drag it all down in one go)
Duplicate file detection – spooky clones? not anymore
Storage optimization tools – clean yo mess
Quota tracking & management – now you know what’s hogging your bytes

Oh — and I also fully wired up the Storage tab in the Dashboard. After the Q1 release, you’ll be able to:
View your total quota + usage
Get smart cleanup suggestions
Optimize files straight from the UI

(Yeah, bulk download & dupes were teased in the last log, but now they’re actually working lol)

Next mission: API Key System for all you dev heads. You’ll be able to automate, script, and wreak havoc… responsibly 😎

See the devlogs like a real hacker → ghostcdn.devlogr.space

Catch ya in the next drop,
– I & Ghosty 👻

S1-1 – Q1 Upgrades!

The ghost is BACK 👻
Heyooo! GhostCDN is back with some juicy Q1 feature upgrades!

First things first — MASSIVE thanks to everyone who voted for GhostCDN. This ghost? Yeah, he was doing backflips when he saw the results. Insane love! 💜👻

💡 What’s new or improved:
Cache Optimization — speedier ghost deliveries.
More file support — after Q1, you’ll be able to upload videos, documents, and a lot more weird file endings. GhostCDN is no longer just JPG gang.
Discord support — yes, finally! Your image links now look pretty in Discord. Before? No metadata. Now? Smart metadata.
Bulk Downloads — download multiple files straight from your dashboard. Click, grab, done.
Duplication detection — find duplicated files taking up your quota and zap them away.
UI updates — refreshed the main page layout and login modal. Looks cleaner, feels smoother, ghostier than ever.

🧠 Coming soon:
API Key system for user uploads (ghosts need tokens too)
Analytics system so you can stalk your own files like a pro
Enhanced storage management (less chaos, more control)

You can check all of this and track the roadmap over at:

That’s all for now, fam — but you know how it goes.
More ghost magic is coming real soon.
Until then… stay spooky. 👻

6 - Release

It’s happening. We’re live.
✅ Updated UI for Verify & Password Reset pages
✅ Upload flow got a glow-up
✅ Added a 404 page (because you will find a way to break stuff)
✅ Fixed the cursed QR code in Image Viewer
✅ And a bunch of stealth fixes I’m too lazy to list lol

🎉 BETA is officially out! Registrations are OPEN.
Expect bugs lurking in the shadows, but the CDN? Nahhh, that beast is solid and fully operational.

This was the main goal all along—make a CDN that just works. Mission accomplished (for now).

And yeah, don’t panic—this isn’t the end. I’m not abandoning anything. Ghost CDN will keep getting updates even after shipping.

More chaos soon 👻

5 - Ban Hammer, Speed Boost, and Chaos

Performance? ✅ About ~60% faster uploads now.
Caching? ✅ Redis online.
Dashboard? ✅ Re-structured, Uploads tab got a shiny new buttons!

Also added:
New CDN behind the scenes.
Email + password reset flows (finally).
Fresh backend endpoints for Admin (so fresh I managed to ban my own account without actually banning it—don’t ask 💀).
Account Settings storage updates.
Misc backend witchcraft.
A bunch of other tweaks I already forgot about lol.
Analytics and Storage stats are postponed to a future devlog—too many moving pieces for today.

Registration is still disabled because I’m way too tired to debug every corner right now. I’ll tackle that tomorrow.

More ghostly updates coming soon 👻

4 - +13377

@$#%&. What’s “+13377”? Just +13377 lines of glorious chaos since the last commit 💀
But heyyy, rewrote half the backend again! (send help)
As always, the backend was NOT in the mood to cooperate, buuuut I finally wrestled it into submission.

✨ What’s new?
Fully working Dashboard (yes, it actually works, I’m shook)
Half-working Admin Dashboard (good enough for now lol)
Updated UIs all around
Auth improvements (sign in like a pro)

🔐 Guest Uploads:
Upload up to 10MB per file, and I’ll babysit your stuff for 2 weeks.
💀 Want more?
Sign up to the GhostCDN family—unlimited size uploads and lifetime CDN links. Seriously. It’s worth it.

And yeahhh, this ain’t the end. Way more coming soon! 👻

Next up:
Finish backend (again)
Email services
Image upscaling
Faster uploads
Image optimization
And everyone’s favorite—debugging everything.

Stay tuned!

3 – A loooot of changes

Yeah, it’s been a hot minute since the last devlog. But no, I wasn’t slacking off (mostly).

Had to partially rewrite the backend because Vercel said “lol nope” to anything over 4.5MB uploads. So now we’re rocking presigned URLs instead.
Changed up a bunch of UI bits.
Added authentication (yep, even social logins for all you lazy gremlins).
Built account settings.
Started working on the Dashboard.

Coming up next:
Image upscaling (your memes will finally hit 4K)
Email verification and password resets for the folks avoiding social logins

Heads up: the Dashboard design is still early. No promises it’ll look the same in the next devlog.

If the backend doesn’t rebel again, you’ll see a shiny DEMO in the next devlog.

Real soon… Ghost 👻 will be unleashed.

2 – Drag. Drop. Paste. Upload. Ghosted. 👻

Upload flow is finally alive — drag & drop is working, CTRL+V slaps too. Instantly yeet your images into the abyss.

Backend’s still angry with me, but we’re getting there.
More chaos loading…

1 - GHOST CDN

👻 rise from the dead, a new project has spawned...
Spun up the first version of the site — minimal, shady, and definitely built past midnight
Built the base upload flow for the CDN (still designing it tho)
Backend is coming to life — files gonna fly soon.

The haunt just started.
