Description

  • I've checked that this isn't a duplicate issue.

In order to prevent us from broken image links, we could build an automation that upload images to imgur.

Here's imgur API documentation: https://api.imgur.com/endpoints/image/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an automated workflow (e.g., GitHub Actions) that detects new images in the repository, uploads them to Imgur via its API, and replaces the image URLs in the markdown files. Consider error handling for API failures and rate limits.
