Was this made at the LinkedIn hack day last year? I think I remember seeing this when I was there. EDIT: Yes http://twitter.com/JustBeamIt/status/124645928228495360
Yup! It was born at the first annual LinkedIn intern hackathon last summer :)

#12Is there a limit to file size?

#13Awesome! Most of the file transfer sites I've used before required uploading the entire file before letting you download anything. The ability to stream is a big plus. Is there a limit to file size?

#14Very cool idea - you might want to make it a bit clearer that the sender has to keep the window open (initially I assumed it simply wasn't loading because of technical issues).

Sweet, glad to see you're still going through with it! I think other than that crazy WebGL game, you guys got the most props from James Gosling.

Also a loading gif or something. The pages makes it look like nothing is happening. There is no progress indicator.

#17JustBeamIt is great, but why are you posting this again now? A Lifehacker article[1] about it was posted a year ago, and you even posted it on HN[2] a year ago. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3116057 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3109081
I think the "v2.0" part of the title addresses why it was posted again.

#18You're plainly trying to keep it simple, but how about a speed indicator next to the progress percentage?

not at the moment, and not planning on putting a restriction on file size :)
Thanks!
