## Overengineered what?
I know, I know. I built this for fun, but I don't want my friend's privacy to suffer. So instead of a static list of photos / urls (which I uploaded to Imgur, initially), I've made things configurable.
Since it's there, I added an image optimization to the mix. I also had some issues with Imgur's API, so I went ahead and switched to Google Cloud Storage since it's free.
Anyway, I love my friends so much I'm willing to use my free day to build rad shit like this. All-in for the memes.
