I read HN a lot, this topic always comes up so I said “I’m going to build a site that makes these readers happy. Take all their advice, no JS at all. Everything done in HTML. Everything they’re asking for” Turns out the hardest thing to do is to get people to use your site.

I wrote a post very similar to this comment that you might be interested in reading. I broke down what takes time to load, how fast the browser determines something has loaded, and how fast the user can perceive the page loading. I ended up having to take a high speed video and measure frame by frame the time it took to load for user perception.

The TLDR is it takes longer than reported.

Builder here, I read a lot of HN posts about blogging and I took all that feedback and built a site based on everything I've been reading about. I hope you check it out and let me know if you have any questions, Thanks!

It goes to a central server, similar to Dropbox, except when I built the service 8 years ago it was a little more open than Dropbox and it was accessible through the command line.

I built something that was useful for me, 32,000 other people have found it useful as well, let me know if you have other questions as well. Thanks for checking it out!

I feel compelled to tell you about my project https://wsend.net/

I built a way to show a static site on there too: https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-static

There are a lot of tools you can build on top of it as well because the core is simple: send a file, get a link.

abemassry — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 14:39:47 +0000

I wrote this a while ago and full disclosure I am the maintainer of this repo and I run the service, but I wanted a way to do full end to end encryption that was easy for me to use

https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-gpg

The downsides are it's command line only, the upsides are you can audit the source and the encryption happens before it leaves your machine. Just wanted to share it with you in case you were interested. I'm a Signal user as well and I like what they are doing too. I have some friends who only exchange messages with me on Signal.

I run a similar project like this, I have for the last 8 years, it's pretty bare bones but you can build on top of it: https://github.com/abemassry/wsend

Yes, I had wanted to learn about multithreading in Python at the same time I had previously read this story. I built it, it worked, but took a reaaaaly long time, it was fun! https://github.com/abemassry/crazip

A quick and easy way to send files from the command line.

https://wsend.net

Tech Used: Bash, Node

Statistics: 612 users, 7 paying customers

History: I started working on this in Jan 2013, I wanted a quick way to send files from the command line and get a URL. I later found after building this backend, I, or anyone could expand upon it in many ways

https://github.com/abemassry/wsend

https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-gpg

https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-twitter-card

A little more about how it was built is in this post

http://abemassry.com/blog/2014/02/14/building-wsend/

I have some more ideas as well, if anyone has any ideas or wants to work on this with me I would definitely be down for it.

I thought about it, but according to the other commentors here a project like this wouldn't make sense. I was learning python at the time and I wanted to learn about multithreaded programming in python.

I could turn it into a learning project with no practical applications. It would be a good platform to learn about OpenCL, and see if the benchmarking times improve.

Also had a similar thought experiment, went and built it. Thanks for the other commentors as well I should link to this HN page in the README.
