It feels like this is a missed opportunity to use a content-addressable store. It would be super valuable to have the capability of hashing content and knowing when you don't need to re-download it.

Add SSL. With LetsEncrypt, it's table stakes.

If they don't know this much, what else don't they know? Not to mention they don't disclose anything about the team or company other than it is "Made with Love in Istanbul". No reason not to assume its a kid who has never hosted a production service in their life.

Exactly. Instead I would totally code up my own self hosted key/value store in a couple of hours than trusting this website.

I'm not sure this solves a real problem developers have. I have never heard from anyone that storing key/values was a pain.

A wide range of popular key/value stores exist and are easy enough to manage. Cloud provider also offer cheap managed stores.

Since each new key request creates a uuid, wouldn't someone need to store that uuid in local key/value store in order to retrieve values from this k/v?

$ curl -X POST http://api.keyvalue.xyz/new/key1 http://api.keyvalue.xyz/3b629f4d/key1

$ curl -X POST http://api.keyvalue.xyz/new/key2 http://api.keyvalue.xyz/3eea0e2c/key2

It looks like this has SSL configured and listening, but there is no certificate or private key loaded: [~] : openssl s_client -connect 54.243.85.55:443 CONNECTED(00000003) 140150585800568:error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error:s23_clnt.c:769: --- no peer certificate available --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 7 bytes and written 201 bytes --- Ne…

Yes, there were some problems due to certificates and they are updated for API server now. Thank you for your interest!
