I have different types of small boxes. Just by writing their name is hard to find them back. Can it be possible to put images and see them as thumbnails in search?

I am not familiar with vue and CouchDB.

I am using https://mementodatabase.com/ now. This is the only feature that is preventing me from switching to StoreDown.

There be problems.
It would be really easy to add a img field where you could pass in a link and it would try to render it.

Problems:
There isn't a bunch of places you can put a image where you can access it based on a url. Its bad practice to just throw them in a folder. You can make them a guid so you need to know in order to get them. But again, security through obscurity is not a good idea.

In my past project we did just that via a php service.
Then I used the S3 because it a de-facto standard for web file storage. However they in the newer signing version they only let you setup signed urls for 7 days.

Because this is a PWA app, when you go offline you louse access to these files. Tangentially I don't thinks it add much. I think giving items ids is the secret sauce. The way I use StoreDown I know what I am looking for. For the photos I do use, I access them via link to Google Photos or Amazon Photos or item listing. This allows me to the option but the search is good enough I am not normally looking around long.

I will leave this up in case someone has an idea I am not aware of(I am aware of CouchDB attachments). Something that is self hosted, multipurpose, and PWA compatible would be nice.
