This seems unnecessarily complex - have you considered replacing this with rsync + cron job?
- bambax 5y ago"Copied to Dropbox" is a copy cron to a folder that is shared on Dropbox. No API was harmed -- or used -- for any of this[0]. It's also in effect a poor man's backup, because the db is renamed with today's date so each copy doesn't overwrite any other. [0] Edit: not in fact true. The email part uses Mailgun's API (from when you could use routes with a basic account).
- phreeza 5y agoI think (though you can never be quite sure on HN) that this was a joke referring to initial reactions techies had to Dropbox.
