On my mobile, it says "there is nothing too see here if you are browsing the Internet like this", which I assume is due to lack of a Flash player.

It may be cool if I could upload images from my mobile in a really simple way too. I often need to share images with a largely distributed team of game Dev. volunteers; I often ask them to disseminate it to others when they see them too. Skype tends to be unreliable for this for me and selecting the photo and sharing a link would make life easier. Sharing the same thing across multiple channels without uploading multiple times is another big winner too!

Just added basic file upload support too, so this should now work on mobile devices. I apologize in advance for the lack of a mobile layout.

uploading is not meant for mobile devices, because the page requires the browser FileReader api. i would have to create a mobile app to support this type of service (which sounds fun ^_^).

also if you are using chrome you can just paste the image into the window.

Aha, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info and apologies for the incorrect assumption.

A mobile app would be even cooler actually.

It's just I only have 3G in a lot of situations; I can only afford a meagre amount of bandwidth and the tedium of uploading to multiple places can be very, very annoying.

When I am behind a computer, I will be sure to check this out because if it's really simple, I could probably find good use there too :)

It seems possible to add iOS support :). The last time i looked there was no such support.

Good work.
