How do you handle user-generated content in your apps?

Hey hackers,

My name is Melvin and I want to thank @hbvincent for the invite. Happy to join this great community!

I am currently working on an MVP for a web service called View, to make it easier for developers to upload, process, and deliver media in their apps.

The idea came to mind while I was working on a photo-sharing app and noticed first-hand how needlessly complex and expensive existing services are.

I wished someone would create an easy-to-use and affordable API/SDK ala Stripe but for audio, video, and images.

Is this something that was a pain point for you? I'd love to hear about your experiences building apps with user-generated content.

Cheers
