Update on Firefox Send and Firefox Notes

Getting rid of Send is so disappointing. That was a hugely useful tool. Why not add a Report button and start charging for the service?

Indeed, it was so useful, they could simply tie Send uploads with Firefox accounts and block the abusers. It's so sad to see this amazing service die.

Send was the only reliable tool I'd found to date. I'm really disappointed by this. Hopefully, they'll have better luck finding a profitable product.

Oh man, send was great. I think I would have paid to use the service just fine.

Hm, been spending a while creating a 'Firefox Send' copy, attempting to host files. Check out a new verison at:

- https://v2.femto.pw/

Looking for some help if anyone can, :)

- https://github.com/femto-apps/web-file-uploader

The old copy (https://femto.pw/) has been used over 100 million times and sent over 13PB of data!

I'm glad Mozilla are focusing more on their core product (Firefox the web browser) instead of trying to compete in overcrowded markets like file transfer (WeTransfer, MEGA, Google Drive, Dropbox, ...) and notes (Notion, Workflowy, Google Drive, Microsoft OneNote, ...).

Why couldn’t they make send work and make money while https://wetransfer.com/ is flourishing?

Perhaps someone else can pick up https://github.com/mozilla/send? Not sure how much of this is the production code or not.
