Great tool.
I had a similar idea a while back to build a frontend webapp to store my receipts on S3 or Backblaze.
It works like any receipt app, except the webapp is just a UI for S3/Backblaze.
As opposed to dropbox or google drive, you pay S3 directly for what you use and you own your own data. That way if the webapp goes defunct, you still are the owner to all your data in raw s3 bucket form.
I wanted it to replace my shoebox at home for sensitive data (warranties, gym memberships, utility bills) I don't feel comfortable putting on dropbox or google drive type app.
10 years from now, I don't know if dropbox or google drive will be around. I feel much more comfortable relying on a backend service like S3 than dropbox or google drive.

- kayman 10y agoLove the project. Congratulations on shipping. An itch/problem I've been looking to solve or be solved. I'd love to be able to host it myself as well. Hope you opensource it. If anything for me to geek on with other features. :)
- iliaznk 10y agoThank you! I will opensource for sure and post about it here on HN, stay tuned :)
