Hello there

[ImgBB.com](http://ImgBB.com) provides support for websites to upload their images on their servers :

> [Upload plugin — ImgBB](https://imgbb.com/plugin)

I found this feature pretty interesting since it would allow site owners to save a lot of disk space.

Unfortunately this won’t implement properly into discourse, first because no icon appears in the text area toolbar for the “Upload images” button

_(see the little greyed area at the middle)_

Second, this will just implement the image as a small link, in a different way than the default image upload feature built in Discourse.

Could this be implemented as a plugin ?
