Since CloudFlare does free bandwidth, I could cut a lot of costs by using them just as a CDN for image assets, but performance is a concern -- how long will they cache my files? :-/ Wouldn't it be funny if I did something like this:
upstream <=> nginx proxy cache <=> CloudFront <=> CloudFlare <=> visitor

@height8 Awesome tool. I use it all the time. It's the only Java app that runs on OS X that I'd recommend.

@height8 (Not to mention the simplicity of installing your own root SSL cert and using a MITM proxy…)

@matigo Ah, I see, you're planning on banning bad clients based on how much spam they output, so using someone else's app token to spam is a concern.

@matigo Honestly, I think you should have just gone with a more OAuth 2-compliant spec. It looks like you're trying to emulate it, but not really adding anything. I suppose you're skipping out on the authorization code juggling for simplicity?
@matigo What's wrong with having the client ID in the binary, as long as it isn't the only factor being used for service authentication (the client_credentials grant type in OAuth 2 terms)? This happens all the time especially with client-side JS apps. I'll have to take a deeper look in to the docs.

@sumudu Nowhere yet :-( The plan is to get it out by the end of next month. I can put together some screenshots sometime soon, though…
// @matigo
@sumudu No, it isn't similar -- it's a private photo sharing service that will also keep your photos safe. For $40 /year you get 250GB of storage (it isn't released yet, though, so those numbers may change haha)
// @matigo
@matigo Once I get some crazy scale, though, I'm going to have to seriously consider building my own storage pod things. We'll see how things work out. :)
@matigo Honestly, if it weren't for B2 I wouldn't be able to get this off the ground. It's why I can offer a $40 yearly subscription instead of a $200 yearly if I had to use something like S3
