- ominous 12y agoDetail: [Enter] after giving my email, upon registration, does not trigger the 'Register me' button.
- lukeholder 12y agoIs this open source? What language is it built on, which database does it use?
- httphub 12y agono, it is not open php + pgsql
- aakilfernandes 12y agoPretty cool. Whats a use case for this tool?
- httphub 12y agoWhen you need a place to store-share your app data without too much effort
- therein 12y agoLooks cool. Essentially an online key-value store.
- httphub 12y agoExactly, url-value storage :)

- pjc50 12y agoInteresting. No mention of what the abuse policy is ...
- httphub 12y agoSoon, of course :) Next few hours.
- iamtew 12y agoSpeaking of policies, what about the data policy? For example, I would have to comply with the EU Data Protection Directive for anything I do where I handle data from users. Since you don't have any info about this, I don't know if I would even be able to use your service. http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/ http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Directive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Directive http://www.computerweekly.com/guides/Essential-guide-What-the-EU-Data-Protection-Regulation-changes-mean-to-you http://www.computerweekly.com/guides/Essential-guide-What-th...
- kej 12y agoThese are pretty generous limits. What's your plan for paying for it?
- uberneo 12y agoPrimary use case will be to use as a mobile App backend. Please share if you think of any other use cases. Demo is not working with provided username/pass . anybody finding the same issue?
- httphub 12y agoFixing. Fixed.

- zackify 12y agowhy is there a limit on characters for passwords....
- httphub 12y agoRaised to 256 Chars
- lotsofcows 12y agoGreat, but why is there a limit in the first place? It implies you're not hashing passwords.
- httphub 12y agoGood password hashing functions will not be much impacted by password length. If you stores the password with 128 bit (salted and key-stretched) hash, there's no gain in allowing passwords longer than 64 characters. Basically, limit the size of input parameters helps preventing DOS and Buffer Overflows.
- acmecorps 12y agoThis looks great for a key-value online storage, but I'm afraid of using it anything other than testing purposes. I don't know how long it will last :(

- Vendan 12y agoUm, "When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative." Can you give any feedback about how you are going to sustain a "give people gigabytes of free storage" model long term? Cause that sounds frankly insane, and the idea of relying on this for anything other then testing and PoC is extremely risky. You have no way of guaranteeing that it will stay online or even free, and any decent programmer should understand the risks involved.
- rpedela 12y agoStorage is pretty cheap nowadays. I am curious about the business model too but 3GB really isnt much anymore.
- Vendan 12y agoAnd? There's no way I'd build an app on a platform like this without knowing what the future of it will be. Storage is cheap is no excuse for "Oh, we're gonna start charging $10 a month for that plan, so you'll have to start paying for what your app on the apple app store is using. Have fun switching to something else or start paying"
- httphub 12y agoThe point is not the 3Gb of space. We will offer plans with more space and unshared/guaranteed network capacity.
