isn't nostr.build doing the same?
No, they are a traditional image hosting platform. They store images on an Amazon web server and they require users to obtain an api key to do so:
nostr.build provides a free API to publically facing nostr or bitcoin projects that offer their service for free. Please contact either nostr.build or fishcake if interested in using the API source
Nostr Image Host does not require any api key and the images are stored directly on nostr relays (though those are also usually hosted on some sort of Amazon web server so that's probably where your images are ending up anyways)

Obviously, this is a forever hosting solution for devs only.
- Do you see any other possibility to have a normie using something similar? for example:
- if a nostr-client implement this little library, could it allow the user to upload any image from the Ui so that any other user using that client (or any other nostr-client that has implemented the library) could visualize that same image?
- Could it be extended to video and other files? or it work only for images?

Yes, I think it can be integrated into apps in a normie friendly way

Yes

Yes but the smaller the file, the better. It takes several seconds to upload even small files, due to my efforts to not hit popular relay rate limits.
