Looks great, awesome job. I see there's ability to upload directly to S3, any ability to upload direct to Azure Blob store?

Sorry, no. If you really need it today, you could hook up Uppy to Transloadit, and it could export to Azure. But requires a paid subscription. I am happy to accept a PR for Uppy to enable direct Azure blob storage uploads however! (does this work with signing URLs also?)

Not entirely sure if I read your question right, but Uppy does have a scriptable API so that you could do uploads without bringing in all the UI yes. So you could write your own UI, or have some kind of automation in place. But maybe you're talking about something else? Happy to dive in deeper

Just curios if this would function as a replacement for sftp uploads. I assume it would need to be put behind our own authentication and https certs. Sftp is very scriptable, but seems hard to explain to many users. It would be nice if this can function as a point and click upload point and also a scriptable upload point for savvier users.

I think you could support both. If you'd use Transloadit we could export to SFTP. This way your existing integration could be left untouched, but you'd add Uppy+Transloadit+SFTP export as an addition for receiving files from users who can't or don't want to operate an SFTP client.

Just a thought!

Filestack deleted my applications (but not my account) without even the courtesy of letting me know beforehand. I still don't know why they did it. Uppy looks like a great replacement.

You'll hear me say good things about all companies in our space but I'm not so sure what to make of Filestack these days. They run FUD campaigns against the use of open source uploaders https://blog.filestack.com/api/rethinking-open-source-upload... which obviously makes it harder for me to defend them in threads like these.

It took that many people to build a glorified JavaScript wrapper? Good god.

A glorified javascript wrapper around what? Looking over the feature list...none of them are things that are natively supported in ECMAScript or widely-supported browser standards.

I check hacker news regularly and this was the first time I saw it. Reposts aren’t inherently bad. I’m glad it was reposted and I’ve now had the chance to learn about it.

What you likely see here is that, because we exploded on Reddit over the weekend, its users have been posting it to HN too. Those posts aren’t mine/ours.

I'm one of the linked posters, and I found it via Reddit. It looks very impressive — well done, and thanks!

All Transloadians only helped out last month, before that it was just the Uppy core team (and contributors). So it's not that many people, and it's not a wrapper either. Well one could argue, it's a wrapper around https://tus.io but we also had to write that, so short answer: no : )
