Look, kudos for having a great sense of humour, but nobody is talking about a SLA or NDA, I was talking about the fact it's almost a guarantee that your service will cause an inordinate amount of pressure on you and that's quite obvious. Though I must congratulate you for making trawling through hckrnews a source of work as evidenced by the corrupt file upload that was brought to your attention.


I doubt that, this is the tenth or so service that I create and run and it's all been fine. You see, my secret power is that I'm terrible at marketing, so I only ever have two active users.


Having a hard time getting your “business advice for people who aren’t trying to run a business” consultancy off the ground?

Giving the advice away for free is a good start, but have you tried targeting people who want advice?


Woah, why so hostile? I am not trying to self advertise anything. The type of business this is in line with -- image uploading where probally data retention matters. There's just one guy runnning this and it's a no brainer you shouldn't use it for anything serious outside memes.

I'm not talking to stavros initially (but look, he replied so it's reasonable for reading that intent), I'm talking to people like me who want an imgur replacement (a la imgur acquired announcement yesterday at the same time) and host a lot of images, or just people who want a service that will be here for longer than the life of a single person.

But if you want to shut off your brain, go ahead, I had a laugh too. Just make to shut it off when reading my comments too, as it's not serious in that context then, and plus it'll be a no-op for you and it won't warrant implying I'm running a consultancy (where did this fabrication come from, really? I have no links or socials at all but I'm software guy who has a datahoarder hobby) -- please for the love of god, think me atleast smart enough to shit on the produt to try and get some sort of consultancy work.
