    This post now shows in position #1 on Google for "add image to indiehackers post"

    Inserting images on IndieHackers is possible using Markdown. Here's how:

    Text in my post...

![The alt image text](IMAGE_URL_FROM_YOUR_SERVER)

More text...

    For example, this code:

    ![My dog](https://i.imgur.com/ClzWyEo.jpeg)

    will turn into this image:
    My dog

    Really surprised no-one answered this question despite being the first result on Google if you search "indiehackers add image on post".

    Anyways, the Indie Hackers editor utilizes markdown which means you can add images and links with the markdown syntax. An example is:

    ![ALT TEXT HERE!][LINK TO YOUR IMAGE :D]

    Have fun :)

      Am I correct in thinking that you can't add images to indiehackers though i.e. uploading the to the site? You used to be able to but now I find it hard to figure out how to do that!

        Yup, seems like you'll need to find your own solution for that :(

              haha, I guess imgur has that cornered? I've definitely noticed a lot of people just use if for hosting random images they don't want to store but want a link for

    Does it also work for adding GIFs?
