The Perpetual To-Do List

April 17, 2006 at 10:53 pm · Filed under todo

We’re planning to add a few more feature in the coming days, weeks, and months:

  • Support filenames language specific chars, such as Danish ÆØÅ.
  • Newly uploaded files should show up at the top of the list.
  • Fix the multiple-upload-tags-Flash problem.
  • Search filenames and file descriptions.
  • Form-based upload for those without Flash 8.
  • Allow others to browse your public files through http://filicio.us/username.
  • RSS feeds of public files tagged mytag at http://filicio.us/rss/username/mytag & http://filicio.us/rss/mytag.
  • Add RSS links within the UI.
  • Sorting listings by filename, creation date, …
  • Select more than one tag at a time.
  • Batch operations: Private/Public, Delete, Tag, … (I’m thinking drag-n-drop for this one)
  • Keyboard shortcuts for navigation.
  • Setting the timeout of signed links.
  • Upload directly to Amazon S3, rather than through filicio.us.
  • Guide to signup at Amazon S3, and a few cases on how to use filicio.us. (Case suggestions: podcasting, note sharing, keeping state secrets accessible…?)
  • Plain html version for mobiles and non-Ajax devices/browsers.
  • Syncing buckets with S3, so every object in a bucket is present in out systems.
  • Shared buckets amongst users? More buckets for one account?

    [...] Update: As mentioned in the comments below, there’s also a new online API, Filicio.us, that lets you access your own S3 file store from the browser. Right now, the Filicio.us service acts as a proxy, but it looks like they have plans for direct access to S3 in the future. [...]

    Do you have any plans to allow uploading via ftp or ssh?

    How do you plan to send data directly to S3?

    Wow, it’s actually a very good idea to add support for ftp and/or ssh; we’ll sure be pondering how to do that one…

    About your second question: We’re planning to rewrite the Flash uploader slightly so it connects directly to Amazon. It actually shouldn’t be that hard — the only problem is that we’re not Flash programmers ourselves…

    FTP would be nice. So would uploading directly to S3. As it is, a 500MB upload through filicio.us takes hours. Mind you, I doubt many others are attempting such a thing, but it does. get. tedious.

    Have tags replaced a folder structure? I’d love to see folders that can be marked as private or public.

    Greg, have you actually successfully uploaded a 500 MB file through filicio.us?

    Just wondering if any progress has been made making it possible to post to s3 without posting through your servers? I don’t know Flash programming, but, I’d guess that some combination of the new CNAME/hostname stuff, and/or getting a JSON response from a trusted server and passing to the Flash, but hosting the actual Flash from S3 so it wouldn’t be cross-domain, might work. Is there anyone for a non-Flash programmer to break things open and take a look?

    bp,

    You’re absolutely right about the “correct solution”: simply to host the Flash application (or filicio.us in it’s entirety on EC2. However, doing so is quite expensive at $876/year. We’re not a Flash programmer seither, so the other solution is not something we’ll be able to do ourselves. That said, we have been looking around for people to help us out. Anyone?

    Looks like this app has been perpetually abandoned.

    Would it be possible to host an alternative URL using this service; e.g. “alternative.com” invisibly brings brings up “filicio.us/username”?

    Perpetual abandonement might be overstating it a little. Things will happen but at what we would term a medium pace…

    Seint, there’s no way of showing the application on a domain other than filicio.us at the moment; what would you be using it for?

    (And, sorry about the very late reply, but wordpress only just now send me an email with the comments.)

    Maybe account information, if you want to change your password or account info. At the moment you can’t
