Description
Some other markdown editors have the ability to add automatic image upload to an image hosting service. Imgur.com is a very common one. The way it works is to add in Preferences a way to link to a user's imgur account. Once the link is established, when I copy/paste an image into MacDown it would automatically upload the image to imgur.com, then insert the url for the image in the markdown. It's really useful! Any chance of adding something like this?
