Filepicker.io launches Django, Rails, PHP, Phonegap libraries
- brettcvz 14y agoLet us know if there are other backend libraries or plugins you'd like to see! And of course, pull requests are encouraged on the libraries
- gtaylor 14y agoThanks for providing these, they are a great service to your users. Even if we end up going with something custom (unlikely, these look just fine), nothing beats examples provided straight from the maintainers. Keep on keeping on!
- techwraith 14y agoI wouldn't mind adding a Geddy (and maybe one for Express).
- ineedtosleep 14y agoWhat made the decision of adding Cake instead of the other frameworks out there? I have nothing against Cake (or the other frameworks), just wondering why that was picked from the sea of PHP frameworks..
- brettcvz 14y agoIt's what liyan new best, so figured it would be a reasonable place to start and would be a good template for other PHP frameworks
- spartango 14y agoWould love to have a Java library!
- dphase 14y agoIt would be wonderful to see it become ORM agnostic on the Ruby side for simpler integration into Sinatra/Padrino.
- juddlyon 14y agoThis looks really cool, nice work. +1 for CodeIgniter (and maybe Laravel while you're at it).
- sfaruque 14y agoDefinately +1 for CodeIgniter, or even a framework-free version?
- lux 14y agoAwesome stuff! Just saw the new pricing updates too, nicely done! Filepicker is going to be perfect for my next project :) I just whipped up an add-on for my own PHP CMS here too (based on your Cake example): https://github.com/jbroadway/filepicker https://github.com/jbroadway/filepicker Cheers!
- brettcvz 14y agoAwesome! Shoot me an email at brett@filepicker.io and we'll send you a T-shirt
- 13rules 14y agoGood pricing change ... I was hesitant to try this out because I already have an S3 upload option and the old pricing plan had S3 upload only on the $50/month plan. With the free plan I can try things out without having to start paying right away — very cool. The GMail integration is awesome as well — I can see my clients really liking that. Going to have another look at this. Nice work all!
- jacobian 14y agoThanks for adding a Django backend, that's pretty awesome. I'm a fan of filepicker, so of course I love to see first-class Django support. It'd be even better if you'd consider spending a bit of time adding some tests and docs. Our community places a pretty high value on tests and documentation, and so the lack of tests/docs in the Django plugin kinda means that most Django folks will probably ignore your code. That's a shame!
- fredsters_s 14y agolove it. the pace these guys develop at is insane.
- codegeek 14y agoone question. I recall from reading earlier posts that filepicker.io backend is built primiarly on Flask framework. Are you including library for Flask as well ?
- brettcvz 14y agoWe were looking at flask, but weren't sure the best way to make it a "library" - most of the basic functionality can be done via the requests library, for example. With Rails, Django, etc. we were able to build into the ORMs and templating engine in a way that made for some cool magic.
- Cixelyn 14y agoany chance you could bake in functionality for WTForms instead? since a number of flask users use that as a form handling library.
- fooyc 14y agoSo, either PHP is a framework, or Django, Rails, Phonegap are programming languages ?
- vasco 14y agoJust the title is wrong, on the website they say CakePHP
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- jarin 14y agoFilepicker does support drag and drop, you just have to drop it on the drop target.
- purephase 14y agoThis is excellent. If only I could convince certain folks to move away from their flash-based uploaders, then we'd be in business. ;) I'll keep at it!
- jurre 14y agoYou should really pay a designer a couple of hundred bucks to spice up that default bootstrap theme in my opinion. Standard bootstrap looks like a weekend hack to me (and probably a huge part of your target audience) and your service is so much more than that. The libraries look great by the way!
- tterrace 14y agoThe site looks fine IMHO. If a couple of the buttons were changed from btn-primary (bootstrap blue) you would barely be able to tell.
- brettcvz 14y agoWe actually got a great looking design all ready to go, we just have to find the time to get around and actually code it up! Figured we'd add the functionality to the core product first before sprucing up our site/marketing side of things
- callmeed 14y agoI'm excited to try Filepicker.io in an upcoming project but Why on earth does it need "Post on my behalf" permissions for Facebook? I'm guessing FB will be a popular sources of images for many, but this just adds another (confusing IMO) step in the authorization process. Yes, I know it's an optional permission but totally unnecessary IMO.
- brettcvz 14y agoI agree - I really don't like the language Facebook uses for this. We need the ability to save photos back into your facebook, which facebook considers to be a "Post". We explicitly turn off notifying your friends, so we don't spam the world whenever you save a photo, but facebook still considers this a post and requires the corresponding permissions
- asdfprou 14y agoI just tried installing the Rails gem but it is telling me that it can't be found on rubygems.org... anyone else having a problem? Seems like this is too new to have on StackOverflow.
- liyanchang 14y agoAh. Sorry about the oversight. Should now work on rubygems.org
- bthomas 14y agoCan this be used for large (100-500M) files? If not, is there a similar service that is good for that?
- brettcvz 14y agoYup, we can handle up to 50Gb (so far)
- elchief 14y agoLooks good. Demo is a bit disconcerting when it scrolls the background even though popup looks modal. thx
- liyanchang 14y agoThanks to Max Tilford who helped with the Ruby gem.
- simonw 14y agoAny plans for a non-JavaScript fallback? I love the concept but using it would break our site's ability to work without JS. We currently upload files directly to S3 using their signed hidden form field feature, but I'd love to be able to enhance the experience for JS capable devices without breaking it for everyone else.

- na85 14y agoIs .io the new, trendy, hipster TLD? Why?
- nicholassmith 14y agoNice and short? .com not available? .io being related to the business? Could be anything really.
