Chute releases jQuery lib to collect photos from users with 1 LOC
- mpd 14y agoLooks interesting, but I can't seem to find a list of supported browsers. Am I just blind?
- gregarious 14y agoAhh, that's definitely an oversight on our part. Adding in a list!
- gregarious 14y agoOK, updated here: https://github.com/chute/media-chooser/#browser-compatability https://github.com/chute/media-chooser/#browser-compatabilit...
- beghbali 14y agoNeat API. It would be cool if it did the same thing for videos or gathered photos from a URL
- gregarious 14y agoWe are already testing video actually and URL-based imports will be added even sooner.
- esharef 14y agoHow much does it cost?
- gregarious 14y agoFor pricing, we will ultimately charge for API interactions with Chute. The first 100k per month will be free. We will also provide some free, permanent storage for all developers. We haven't finalized the amounts but right now there's no limit. Anyone wanting more control will be able to plug in their own S3 credentials - this is already enable for full Chute API accounts.
- revicon 14y agoDo you plan to allow customizing of the popup window? (Colors, cropping, etc)
- gregarious 14y agoGreat question. The window itself can be styled using a custom CSS which you pass into the chooser. We definitely want to extend the functionality further to enable other features like cropping, filters and more.
- cfinke 14y agoSounds like a re-implementation of Web Intents: http://webintents.org/pick http://webintents.org/pick Does Chute register as a 'pick' intent handler? If not, do you plan to?
- gregarious 14y agoWe've looked into Web Intents but haven't quite taken the complete leap towards implementation. We're definitely huge fans and think that it is an area we should aim for. Native browser support would be ideal but the shim looks really promising. Have you successfully implemented this intent anywhere? Would love to see it.
- cfinke 14y agoHave you successfully implemented this intent anywhere? Not pick, but I added view, subscribe, and share to the latest version of the WordPress.com Web app in Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/khjnjifipfkgglficmipimgjpbmlbemd https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/khjnjifipfkgglficm...
- scottrblock 14y agoGive me a way to hook-up an AWS bucket to copy the media there, and I'm sold. Any plans for this?
- gregarious 14y agoHi Scott, Actually if you sign up for a full Chute API account here: http://bit.ly/chute-signup http://bit.ly/chute-signup You can customize your credentials immediately! Greg
- joshma 14y agoSounds like you guys are competing with filepicker.io[1] What kinds of features differentiate your service? //Edit to somewhat address the downvotes: Sorry if this sounded brusque, I'm genuinely interested in what these sorts of services take into consideration wrt their customer base.

- ranvir 14y agoOur goal at Chute is to provide the complete infrastructure around handling media files. See our other products at picture.io, avatars.io, and even slidechute.com. We think photo and video assets require unique workflow and processing and we're focused on providing that.
- tlack 14y agoWhat a great, simple API. Does anyone know of a service like Chute that allows the user to resize/crop the photo after uploading, without my site having to get involved?
- gregarious 14y agoSo the main tool we've seen that can handle this is offered by Aviary.
- ville 14y agoJS lib would be more correct than "jQuery lib" on the title. Yes, it has jQuery as a dependency, but it's not a jQuery plugin nor extends jQuery in any way.
