Saving non-textual lore #34

Currently, the best we can do for non-textual lore (images, etc.) is to store them as links. This is, at best, very brittle (either due to file upload limits, non-archival storage, etc.).

Some ideas for how to make this better:

  • Save non-textual lore files to filesystem of loredb host
    • How to link and display when queried?
  • Re-upload non-textual lore files to more-archival-quality host
    • imgur? S3? Something else?
  • Encode files and store directly in databse (base64?)
    • Maybe okay for images. Awful for anything bigger.
  • [Other brilliant ideas?]
