Ask HN: Open-source equivalent to Ink File Picker?
I'm starting a new project and I'd love to use Ink file picker (https://inkfilepicker.com) but they're charging (IMO) a ridiculous price for their basic package ($19/mo) and the prices after you exceed the quotas are also very high.
I was wondering if there was an open-source equivalent. I know about basic file uploaders (like jQuery File Upload, etc..) but they only have awesome support for uploads from desktops, and I think the integration ideas that Ink has come up with are really neat (just not monthly pricing sort of neat).
Also, if there is anyone interested in doing a Kickstarter for something like this, I'd be willing to contribute $100 or so, and I would imagine a large amount of people would too.
- kellros 12y agoIt depends entirely on what you need. Here are some alternatives for client side: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload http://www.plupload.com/ http://www.plupload.com/ Given that under normal circumstances that development time is expensive, you'll save a lot of money even if you have to pay $29+ a month.
