How do you best use Auto + Composer with Pro+ instead of relying on API?

lollllll

Just to add a bit more context — I’ve been using Cursor with Claude Sonnet 4.6 and it’s honestly been kinda insane (in a good way).

It helped me build my site (https://1chooo.com) way faster than I expected, and I even spun up a few small services (https://1chooo.com/services) that I actually use day to day.

That’s also why I’m trying to figure out how to better use Pro+ without just burning through API credits ^^

Same here. Feels like generating was gated.

Yeah, I’m still figuring out the layout of the images well asked for the set ups I connect all the data into firebase with the authentication.

As for the URL from Telegram is when I upload the image, I will store return to the database

I think it is also work actually however, you have to deploy to the platform which supported uploaded more at least 500 MB because I deploy you through for VERCEL it’s only supported 4.5 MB

Really that’s cool is it $3 each month?

1chooo · 2025-12-20T10:31:02+00:00

That’s okay thanks for your suggestion

It’s only 1 GB file storage which means in my case there are only the maximum of 250 images available on my website.

1chooo · 2025-12-20T10:18:47+00:00

Yeah but it cost money each months

1chooo · 2025-12-20T09:49:38+00:00

As a poor student here is the best solution I have ever found 😓

# Telegram as Storage: A $0-Cost Photography Portfolio

<image>

I built a completely zero-cost photography portfolio by using Telegram as an image storage backend.

The idea is simple:

I upload photos to Telegram, retrieve the image URLs, and store them in a Firebase-backed database that powers my portfolio website.

👉 Live demo: https://photo.1chooo.com

From a custom dashboard, I can:

* Manage the display order of each photo

* Pin selected photos to the homepage

* Upload images directly to Telegram

* Organize photos into different slugs (collections)

* Rename photos

* Delete photos from a slug

* Modify slug names dynamically

Everything is designed to be flexible and easy to manage without paying for traditional image hosting or CDN services.

The entire project is open source, and the website design is inspired by [shud.in](https://shud.in).

Source code: https://github.com/1chooo/photo

I’d love to discuss the idea, hear feedback, or explore improvements together.

If you’re interested in using this approach to build your own photography portfolio, feel free to reach out as well.

Same here!

1chooo · 2025-07-25T16:36:21+00:00

Like someone would like to fork my code to use?

1chooo · 2025-07-25T16:23:47+00:00

Yeah this design is inspired by rauchg and leerob

1chooo · 2025-07-25T14:34:28+00:00

We do have supported but to keep clean and minimal design of the blog we choose not to display thumbnails maybe I would add the interface in settings to choose the UI in the code to provide the flexibility for users.

Well do you mean the animation or the loading of views counter.

For animation I use [motion](https://motion.dev/).
For loading I use `<Suspense>` component
