I have to try it out on my idle laptops. I've been meaning to run some models on them for low cost tasks that need AI - like sorting and filtering photos from 100s of thousands that I have amassed over the years. And applying general size reduction compression to the filtered ones.
Btw if anyone has already created such a pipeline/workflow using such models, please lmk!
This is my first ever HN post and first ever post anywhere really on the internet to show off something I built.
## What
It will basically allow you to store any text data - securely (password protected) or not, in a URL - yes - it'll compress and encode the data into a URL which you can access anywhere you have a browser!
## Why
I uh, keep getting the itch to try and make something useful - even if slightly useful and most importantly, to me at least, in under a weekend (but as parent to a hyper active 1.5yr old, a weekend = few hours if I don't sacrifice my me time which is TV + planespotting + brewing coffee + youtube)
So recently I got this wild idea - stemming mostly from a recurring problem I've been having with small web apps - I need easy free storage other than local storage or indexed db in browser that is just.. there in another device when i try to access it.
Well this app doesn't really solve it cleanly, since the URL will keep getting huge as the content gets huge. But.. it was a fun experiment for me to be able to abuse the limitations on URL length to use it as a data store.
I think it's cool though - you have the secure option to password protect the URL, and the data isn't logged in logs too because of being a fragment.
I haven't made the repo public yet.
Will do that if this gains traction and people are interested in forking their own for their own private mods.
Thank you for giving your time to this!
This is one of my passion projects and I'm excited to share it with the world.
Hope you like it!
Leave feedback definitely and any feature requests if you like it!
