| hey guys, i built this with a friend and didn't expect it to get posted to HN already. we just got it approved and i accidentally hit our Like button before we were even ready. my friends immediately commented on the story so we just said, what the hey :-) in any case, it just "launched" today, was only meant for friends to test out, and yes i agree we need to write more copy. to address some concerns: - this is really only meant for developers at the moment; i.e. those who actually know their way around AWS. if and when we decide to take payments and provide a service, you can expect a lot more documentation and support. we have no desire to dupe normal folks. we built this for ourselves and really only expected friends to try it out first. - you don't need to go to your AWS console to get your files. once a file archives, you can click a button to download it back to your Dropbox - putting in warnings about the quota is a great idea! we'll do that ASAP. keep the feedback coming, we really appreciate it and wanna build something useful for everyone. |
