Add Screenshot Upload to forums

[threadi]

In the forums, one of the biggest problems for users is that they cannot easily provide screenshots. At the moment you have to follow this guide, but hardly anyone finds it: ​https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/block-editor/#adding-screenshots

I have developed a plugin with which you can send files to the Imgur API and then embed them from there. The user simply inserts the block into the post like any other, selects their image file and the plugin transfers it to Imgur. The response from Imgur is integrated into an embed block, so that the image can then be seen in the post. Does also work for multiple images in one rush.

Here is the plugin: ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-imgur/

My suggestion to the support team would be to use this plugin for screenshots.

Yes, I am aware of all the disadvantages of this approach (data protection, storage time, availability, reliability of an external service provider, etc.). Therefore, I would like to at least show the technical feasibility with this plugin, which would at least overcome this hurdle. I am open to any decision in this regard - even if it is not used, I could at least have gained some experience with another API and the block editor and enriched the community with another plugin. This plugin could also be seen as a source of ideas for similar solutions.

Hints:
You need Imgur API credentials to use the plugin. Where you get them for free is linked in the plugin-setup.
You cannot (currently) use it in the Playground, as the Playground lacks curl (will be enabled soon as far as I know).
The plugin can be used in a local installation, but no Imgur URL will be embedded, as Imgur prevents this for local calls.
