Thanks! I'll be sure to add both soon.

Thanks, this means a lot!

By the term "media", I was referring to OP's potential usecase of Horizon, like their screenshots and screen recordings. I think you're framing Horizon as potential photo backup, in which case, it is not designed nor mea

I've worked out the economics! The cost of the free plan is negligible.

by sweca 2y ago
That's ok! Horizon should be able to handle it.

Thank you! I work hard to impress with all of my sites. Looks like the "Sign in with Google" text is only blue on iOS Safari. On other browsers, it's white on green. I'll investigate further. Cloudflare is indeed in fron

1. Maybe it's a matter of perspective. I actually find the free plan to be quite restrictive, especially for long term use. The current model is designed to be profitable. The free plan is sustainable. 2. Yes, you can. Just open the we

Thank you! 1. Images that are natively previewable are supported in the browser at the moment. RAW is unsupported for previews, but should still be able to be uploaded for file sharing. 2. I haven't seen any demand for larger paid plan

I designed mockups in Figma, and then realized them into code. At first, there weren't any fancy animations, so I enlisted the help of my friend Rens (info linked in the footer) to help bring it to life!

You absolutely have a point. But for me, I'm not sure how to balance privacy and safety. Is my service really private at all if I'm handing off user files to a third party to do who knows what to scan for bad content, and potentia

Yes, I understand there is an unfortunate risk. However, I oppose file scanning, and so do many users, as we've seen with the Apple scandal. If any content is uploaded that violates the terms of service and is reported, they will be de

Yep! Having limits and sustainable pricing was at the top of mind prior to launch - didn't want to dig myself into a hole. For exports, there are currently 3 export options: - file download URLs (encrypted content is undecryptable by H

I see your point, but the business model can sustain a large influx in free signups. I will keep this in mind though.

Under the Adult Content section, yes, if there is adult content, the user must be 18 years of age or older. I see the irony in this. However, for other usage of the site, the privacy policy says that the minimum age is 13 years old.

Thank you so much! I started programming at around 9 years old in MS Batch. By making TUI apps, I learned the fundamentals, like variables, logic, functions, etc. The interest actually stemmed from gaming. I was playing Minecraft and I was

I do have a job as a software engineer in the professional world. I do both professional work and amateur side project work. Did I miss something?

I've added a new redundant check that will ensure all chunks are uploaded before marking the large upload as finished. Hopefully this resolves the issue you were facing. If not, please do send me an email at the address listed at http

Transcoding client-side still has considerations: - What if the user's hardware is not performant? - Transcoding is intensive, so their machine will become slow - Even wasm based ffmpeg will not be as efficient and has its own issues -

Good catch. Forgot about this terms of service clause.

If you didn't notice, the logo has a mountain inside the first "o". "Everest", as in "Mount Everest", follows the theme of mountain metaphors. Mount Everest is also a high point, which symbolizes the fact

Yes! Supported file types can, such as MP4. Other video formats are not currently supported for streaming (can still be uploaded for download) due to browser restrictions and compute considerations. For supported video types, Horizon is opt

Got it. Thanks for your feedback. All servers and user content are hosted in the EU, so for some parts of the world, it may not perform as intended. I've also thought of creating replicas for latency reasons, but it does introduce extr

For privacy reasons, it's kept out of Cloudflare's cache. But one could argue that it doesn't matter since traffic is flowing through Cloudflare anyways. What do you think?

Encryption at rest is disabled by default because many users do not want to keep track of all of their encryption keys, which are not stored by Horizon when that setting is enabled. There are also other security features, like end-to-end en

For privacy reasons, there's no scanning. I rely on user reports to determine whether to take content down.

These are good questions to ask. Right now, the monetization strategy is profitable. If an image does go viral, which has happened before on popular Reddit posts that hit the front page, the infrastructure should be able to handle it for a

Thanks for upgrading! And sorry that you ran into some speed bumps. 1. Good catch. Will improve on this. 2. I'm not sure what could be causing this. My account with thousands of uploads loads in less than one second. 3. Thumbnails are

Haha. Didn't even realize that. The goal was mountain-themed metaphors. Hopefully the "Horizon" prefix is enough to differentiate.

Thanks! It's been operating for the past 3 years without any ads or third-party trackers, and I don't have plans to shut it down for the forseeable future.

Good call! The second one is Gyazo.
