hi guys. just noticed it i got on frontpage! I wanted to demo how easy it was to use IPFS and was a bit suprised no one made a cloudapp clone with this tech. As you can see in the code, took like 30 min to put it together. I'm not that familiar with IPFS either so thanks for answering all the questions guys.

FYI: thanks for the guys that put in a pull-request, i've already merged them in.

Creator of CloudApp here (no longer involved). This is really neat, thanks for sharing! You could potentially monitor ~/Desktop on OS X and identify screenshots with:

  mdls 'Screen Shot 2016-10-24 at 4.14.54 PM.png' | grep IsScreenCapture

That would match the original behavior even closer.

Edited for brevity

Props. Didn't know you were no longer involved. Sale? Is this why it got super expensive?

Thanks for the tip.
