I think using Pinata a bad idea, this is a centralised proprietary software / API. (I have nothing against Pinata specifically, I quite like them infact)

IPFS somewhat recently standarised remote pinning services.
Which is a similar API, however it's open source so you can use your own node, pinata or a pinata concurrent, seems way more fair to me to allow users to choose whatever service they want to use instead of stearing them to someone.
