I created a similar service last winter: http://www.kissr.com/ . A friend of mine talked to Drew Houston about the idea at a conference and Housten loved it! 1124 people have signed up for KISSr but I have yet to get anyone to pay for it. I have since lost interest in the project. I still think it is a great idea and I am glad someone is running with it!

Hi. I'm one of Site44's founders. If you're no longer working on KISSr, do you want to suggest to users that they migrate over to Site44? Ping me if you want to chat: smarx@site44.com.

Heh, this comment reminds me of exactly what Dale Carnegie recommends NOT to do when reaching out to another party.[1]

If you're actually interested in making this happen I'd recommend you reach out to him privately and at least provide an incentive for him to help you out.

Has anyone made a generic Dropbox S3 bucket sync client yet?

Yes. We created Backup Box back in March to solve this problem. https://mybackupbox.com We have also released our technology as an API at http://mover.io Feedback is welcome!

Mover.io looks like a great idea. I've been fiddling about with S3 and FTP wrappers, so this looks helpful. I'm looking forward to my API key.

Cool idea. Homepage needs tweaked for iPad. Content pushed to absolute edges with 0 margin.

Thanks. We'll take a look.

I've found this exact problem before with Bootstrap. I solved it, but it was perhaps 6mo ago and don't remember, otherwise I'd take care of it for you.

Congrats again on shipping a kick-ass product.
