Show HN: Launching my humble site, attachcache.com
I've been hacking on a site off and on since early 2010, and now I'm totally out of motivation and ideas, so I'm throwing up my hands (and a URL!) and hoping for some feedback.
This started out as a 100-line python script and grew to something more ambitious. I built the site to scratch my own itch, and because I had a hunch that it might be useful to other people, but now I'm at a technical/spiritual impasse.
The basic idea is to mirror a Gmail account's attachments, and make them instantly searchable/sortable. The original idea was to provide a single email address per user account which can accept and parse attachments (i.e., via forwarding), but I found myself gravitating toward sync. So both sync and email forwarding are currently supported, but I'm not sure how stable it will be under load (or any part of the site, for that matter).
I'm really interested to know if anyone has ideas for more features (I have a few of my own), and also whether you think there is a market for this site. There are definitely bugs, so caveat emptor:
https://attachcache.com
Please try it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
