FTP needs no defending -- it was really useful in 1979, but times have changed (e.g. I suspect every machine on the Internet uses an 8-bit byte). One point you wrote surprised me though: > no clear client/server relationship which can cause issues for NATing and filewalls (particularly if running with TLS) Really, crocks like NAT and stateful firewalls should die. Layers 4 and below are inherently peer-peer -- the ne…
The thing is while NAT is horrible for what you're saying, it probably did more to improve security than anything else, which wasn't it's primary goal. I remember what the internet was like when ADSL/cable models first came along. Everyone was getting pwned none stop. Any RCE could easily be applied by scanning a consumers DSL/cable IP pool and you'd be able to hit a very high %age of them. NAT totally stopped this.
Are you defending NAT? It sounds like a Vietnam era construction: you had to destroy the Internet in order to save it.
We now have a seemingly entrenched tree-structured (i.e. centralized) network again, the very 1960s architecture we tried so hard to get away from.

See above. Also, please don't scan sites that aren't your own - you won't be able to see results anyway.
Don't know if we count as big yet, but we're doing very very well: https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com

I did not put "Show HN" in the title when I posted Redis here, but an HN post was the first announcement I did.
I just read the about page. Could you help me understand a little more about how it works? It seems like a tool that could replace sessions and cookies, and possibly a browser-based database? My current project is a tournament-scoring app where I'm using cookies to hold match scores, so that the score won't be lost if the page is refreshed before the match is over and saved to the database. Would redis be appropriate…
If you need client side storage, try jedis (a redis fork in javascript) or lokijs or pouchdb which are all client-side databases.

Redis is great for server-side caching to recall data that you normally get from a database often. If you need client side storage, try jedis (a redis fork in javascript) or lokijs or pouchdb which are all client-side databases.

I posted an Ask HN to review my side project PCPartPicker about six years ago. Got great feedback and things grew from there. I went full-time, had to hire employees, etc. Not big like Dropbox, but we made it over the hump self-funded and without taking investment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1883123

It's not amazing at all :) I still struggle to find a reason why should I use dropbox over ftp or any other file repository service. I guess marketing and creating artificial buzz played big role in their success.
I get that many techies can live without Dropbox and it's ilk (myself included), but NOBODY should ever be advocating FTP. It's insure (no encryption - unless you're talking about FTP(E)S, but that introduces it's own issues), it's broken by design (no clear client/server relationship which can cause issues for NATing and filewalls (particularly if running with TLS), output specs depend on the host OS (eg directory l…
I was working as a corporate lawyer, and I posted a Show HN [1] before going to lunch one day. I came back and it was at #1, and it stayed there for over 12 hours. This led to a feature in Fast Company [2] and press in over 20 different languages. After winning a couple startup competitions, I quit my day job and now do BeeLine Reader [3] full-time. We have 70k users on our first-party tools, plus many more on our li…
