Best way to add photos to a web app? (lemmy.world)

Hi all :)

I'm putting together a web app for a small music festival, and part of what I want to do is add photos from the various events that we hold. At the moment, they're being posted to Facebook, but I'd prefer to have something separate from that.

My thinking is to make a slideshow of lower resolution photos for the web app, and keep the full sized versions on Facebook so that people can download or share them. Even doing this is going to eventually bloat the app though.

The other problem we have is that there's no budget for storage, so I need to make it for free if that's possible.

Does anyone have any better idea than a lower resolution slideshow please?

You might also contemplate Cloudflare R2. It's compatible with S3, so if you have a library that expects S3, R2 should also work, and can be cheaper (and maybe faster? Not so sure about how they store it across their edge network). They've got a price calculator too here.
