Build a separate backend for storing JSON files

https://json.excalidraw.com/

I can build a backend on App Engine which will do the following:

• Endpoint to accept POST requests JSON files (example: https://json.excalidraw.com/api/v1/post/) and returns 200 and some data about the the uploaded file`.
• Endpoint to accept GET requests with a given hash and return JSON if found, 404 if not. (example: https://excalidraw-json.appspot.com/api/v1/2fd4e1c67a2d28fced849ee1bb76e7391b93eb12.json)
• Automatically delete very old ones that haven’t been accessed for a long time
• Accept requests only from https://excalidraw.com and localhost:3000
• Count potential visits of every drawing
• Force HTTPS
• Ability for the admins to view and manually delete JSON files
• Keep in mind if we want to support if in the year 2025 the support for GitHib logins.

Then build the functionality here store, and share via URLs…

P.S. This service most likely will be a paid app, but we could try the free tiers and if anything we could ask Google for some credits, until we get our own sponsors 😃

If you want to build all this infra, go for it.
