Project Background

Media Manager was an experiment to create a chrome extension that will allow right-clicking on any image/gif/mp4 and allow uploading it to a Pinterest-like site. For example, let's say you came across a funny gif you want to share at work. Instead of managing big lists of bookmarks or saving it locally and shuffling files, you can simply right click any image/gif/mp4 and upload it for easy retrieval.

Obviously there are other existing products that already have this functionality like Imgur and Pinterest, but this was still a great opportunity to learn about chrome's context menu support for extensions. Below are some screenshots showing the result.
