Looks great! What is the technology stack behind this, if I may ask?

  Thank you, and of course you may. The backend is written in Java(8) and it is built with the following (noteworthy) components : Netty[1] - Extremely fast and stable Java networking framework, serves static files and relays traffic (both tasks are custom implementations) Guice[2] - IoC container by Google, nice for keeping the code clean jOOQ[3] - I log some statistics in PostgreSQL (file size, content type, transfer time - but no filenames). If you're comfortable with SQL jOOQ is a real breeze to use. The backend is hosted on the cheapest VM option at Digital Ocean (Amsterdam region), (which seems to be holding up pretty well so far :). I do run PostgreSQL on another $5 VM, so the Station307 server only has to worry about serving static content and moving large chunks of bytes around. SSL certificates are kindly provided by Let's Encrypt[4]. For the frontend, I know for a fact it uses left-pad (babel-core)... Written in JavaScript (ES2015 + JSX) and built with : Mithril[5] - Fast, small and simple React-like framework, quite a joy to use. Bootstrap[6] - Because not having to worry about L&F is quite nice. Trimmed it down a bit by only importing the parts I needed (SCSS). And I think that's about it. If there's anything else you'd like to know, let me know!
