Yea, for easy github forking! :) Firefox Send was such a great and simple tool for sharing those >10MB (anything that won't fit in an email) files with literally anyone.
Now that we'll be maintaining our own fork (https://github.com/plyint/send https://github.com/plyint/send), if anyone has any thoughts on features or fixes you'd like added I'd love to hear from you. Just send us a message from our website (https://plyint.com https://plyint.com), open a github issue or contact me through my HN profile. I can't promise will implement it, but we'll definitely give it a serious look.
- mushufasa 6y agoThe value of firefox send for me was that 1) it was hosted 2) it was free 3) I trusted mozilla As a developer, I am already aware of similar open-source packages like magic-wormhole. The code/tools themselves don't solve the problem, though. I had my non-techincal mom exchange sensitive documents through Send but I'm never going to get her to use magic wormhole, and self-hosting is too much hassle for one-off documents. I'm aware of dropbox etc but if my both me and my mom don't already use them, there's friction to create an account and pay. I'm not sure whether there's a business model for a standalone hosted version if Mozilla themselves couldn't make it work (and I presume they gave it thorough thought)
- fzzzy 6y agoI wouldn't presume they gave it thorough thought.
