Does anyone know of an alternative to this library?

The best is probably Dropzone, but it doesn't have support for Amazon or some of the other features this does.

Your product is wonderful, and arguably if you'd just had the conversation on Aether instead of Github, the moderation tools you've spent so long building would have prevented you seeing that crap. Respect.

Building is hard. Listening to your customers is hard. But criticism is easy, and it hurts even when it shouldn't - take it from another builder. Deep down you have a massive moral high ground - it's a shame the human psyche can't internalise that against these stone-throwers.
