Something's up with the retrieval of images. Getting errors (402 status code) from Firebase storage / Google. — EDIT: seems to be fixed!

Fun project though! What are your plans with it? Like to hear about your ideas.

Some – unsolicited – suggestions (feel free to ignore):

- describing (primary) usage(s) – e.g. workstation, gaming, web dev, music, audio, etc.

- describing setup components by selecting items from a parts list

- adding benchmark results

- filtering / searching setups by varying properties

- breaking down components even further.. there's a huge community around mechanical keyboards for example, these come in all kinds of shapes.. users may have desires along the lines of: "I'd like to see setups with wireless 60% keyboards"

- listing similar setups ("if you like this, you might like..")

- capturing setup updates (and displaying VCS-style diffs :-))

- recently updated systems

- in the same vein: build logs

- image annotations

- up- / downvoting

- comments

Fun stuff to come up with.

These are great suggestions, thank you and it's exactly what I've posted it for tbh - It feels like this project could have endless possibilities but I also want to know what others care about too.

My next steps (I posted below but happy to post here too)

- Multiple image upload support

- Like setups

- Build collections out of setups

- Search (tags, product names, setup titles etc)

- Tagging products on setups (like how Facebook does but you know, respect peoples data etc)

I think after that or even during, I'll need to definitely come up with a more structured roadmap.

Again, thank you for the suggestions!

+1 for comments. Would like to be able to ask questions.
