Exactly.


Nice idea, I am also submitting our new launched app http://justprecious.net

Btw found a silly bug. When I signed up by mistake I used myname@Gmail.com and now I can't login with myname@gmail.com


Please explain to a layman.

Does it mean that I can get a user to upload 500mb file irrespective of if user has dropbox or not?

Kind of like what filepicker.io helps us do?


Nostalgic!

Btw how did it go viral back then? Curious. Was it cause of his story? Pay for tuition.


The mainstream media, particularly in the UK really picked up on this story at the time and I would say the 'pay for tuition' component played a big part in that.

There's an incomplete list of coverage he received on the site [1] but it doesn't include TV or radio, which was a fair amount too from memory.

I seem to remember a lot of mailing lists discussing it, which is how I believe things went viral certainly in the 90s.


OMG, it works on IE 10! Congrats!

But not working on Chrome or FF :|


What version(s) are you on? I spent a lot of time checking in more recent versions of FF after developing the site.

I do pretty much everything on OS X these days, but I did fire up a couple of VMs with Win XP, Win 7, and Win 8 to test.

I did my entire dev on Chrome, and apart from what appears to be a new canvas issue at present, I'm not having any major issues. (I'm looking into the canvas problem.)


Exactly my point, in online shopping pricing it .99 has any affect globally? I am very curious.


Very neat. It kept me glued till the end.


Hosting images and data will be expensive, at the moment difficult to predict all the future costs. Our objective is store it for generation by paying little.

We are starting with monthly and yearly plan but definitely think over one time. Cheers
