I don't want to "drop".
I want to push. And then edit. Commit. And push again.

#272Wow the people in this thread are a huge bummer. This is much cooler and I doubt this is a real safety issue. You can already sign up for a free cloudflare account and deploy it for free, on your own, on a free workers.dev domain. The friction removal here isn't going to meaningfully change the security / amount of malicious content.
You're encountering the "contrarian dynamic" which dang described in this post (which also explains why your own anti-contrarian comment reached the top) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24215601
Thanks for linking that comment! I wasn't familiar with the term, but it perfectly describes the pattern that manifests in every single HN thread about certain topics. The Grok announcement thread that is on the main page today is another perfect example.

#273I found https://surge.sh to be a nice version of this kind of thing. Just go into a folder and type `surge` and there you go.

I'm always really doubtful this is applicable in the end, especially in the EU. You can't give up all your copyright like this
You can't give up the right to sign your work with your name. But you can definitely share rights to reproduce your work etc — although perhaps not in a clickable EULA.
In Austria and Germany, you just cannot transfer the copyright ("Urheberrecht"). You can only transfer - meaning sell - the right of use ("Nutzungsrecht"). The only exception I know of is with employments, where the employer is the rightful copyright holder. The US, Switzerland, and maybe other legislations allow for the transfer of copyright.

When you see a group of people being critical, you can either see it as a “bummer”, or you can see it as people critically thinking about a thing. Is it really more useful to have everyone expressing how much they like something instead of identifying problems? Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?
The problem is that everything is negative, all the time. Nothing good is allowed to be acknowledged. Everything someone or some company does must not be acknowledged to have any redeeming value- it’s all just negative Which is sad, because so much amazing stuff is happening on the world right now, and seems to be only accelerating. For everybody.
I don't know, I find it very hard to stay positive about our general direction in the last couple of years, and know few people in real life who don't share this opinion, in or outside of tech. And I'm also not entirely sure I understand why others are excited, it perplexes me. I would appreciate any insight into this.

#276Netlify made this 10 years ago... they even copied the name! https://app.netlify.com/drop
Isn't this what we used to do with Geocities a quarter century ago? And with most other websites that offered FTP upload? You didn't have to be very technical -- there were windows FTP clients where you could just type in the IP, username, password and see an explorer-like view, onto which you could just drag and drop your HTML and image files.
Most browsers even had (read only?) FTP clients built in.
Re: Cloudflare Drop
#277Cloudflare seems to be an example of a company massively upping their output in the last year or so. And a lot of it seems AI driven. I'm definitely keeping an eye on them to see if it works out for them. And if I will need to start routing around them to sleep easily at night.

I believe we are talking about the same thing.

If you don’t give them a license to display the works you give them to display, how can they legally display it?
Perhaps the same way that Github works when you host your web page there. I.e. A revocable, limited license, where you retain full ownership, and only grant them permission to host and serve your content + a limited set of other uses, and you dictate external licensing?
