Drp.io: Fast and easy images hosting

"Please e-mail us at [email] and let us know what you were doing when this error occurred."

Edit: And you just copy pasted these ToS from http://minus.com/pages/tos without even changing the name. It still says minus inc on your page.

Thanks

Allowing direct linking to binary files is a recipe for malware disaster. It's not going to take long for malware uploaders to start using the site to host drive-by malware payloads.

I'm sure the creator meant for the vowel-disembowelled name to mean "drop", but I keep reading it as "derp" - which in no way makes it worse!

:D

Coming soon from the Reddit crowd: hrp.io

except drop.io was already acquired by Facebook back in 2010 -- see here http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/29/facebook-acquires-drop-io-n...

It's even worse - in serbian slang, "drpio" means "he stole [something]" :)

I like it. But Allowing HTML files is not good http://drp.io/files/5304baa46b183.html

fixed :) I am only allowing images for now. thanks!

Really great image host workflow.

I'd love to see the source of this (or something similar) so I could implement it privately. Any ideas?

I made something similar a while ago while I was learning some jQuery. It only uses pasting from clipboard as I use it for sharing screenshots. And chrome only at the moment. http://quickscreen.me/

Nice feature, I should implement it :)

No IPv6 support. ☹

I made something almost identical to this recently: http://www.kegoi.com

Neat. I like that you are using OVH to host instead of AWS. Way cheaper. Are you deleting the images ever?

Not for the moment.

Similar to http://chromatic.io Nicely done.

Really cool, but I am not sure how this site is going to have a different future to the others. It has no ads, it's free, it offers direct linking -- how're you going to make money to sustain yourself?

I was thinking about displaying a full background image ad (a wetransfer like ad) on the home.

So you have to click on the ad to select a file? Or would it support drag and drop only?

Nope, the ad would be the background and there would be a upload zone in the center.

There's no money in advertising to uploaders, the only money in this is advertising to the recipients. That's a lesson it took me an embarrassingly long time to learn.

That's exactly how imgur started though.

Imgur had a partnership with a CDN, this guy is just hosting it on an OVH box.

imgur filled a needed gap at the time and helped millions of Reddit users. I think drp.io would need a similar circumstance.

Cool! I was actually thinking of trying to make something exactly like this to as a learn-Javascript project.

Could you talk about how you made this a little? Really appreciate it.

So, tell us about your dev stack.. This is HN after all

Nothing fancy, symfony2, MySQL and some jquery. But I am working on a nodejs/mongoDB version of this :)

whats wrong with sf2 ?

Nothing really, it works well... but a bit heavy for such a small website.

Works well. I like the size at which images are displayed: http://drp.io/rUNp

You should try the "wall feature" http://drp.io/wall/Rwaa (NSFW) ;)

Please be a decent person and put a nsfw tag on that

You are right. I am sorry.

Haha, no worries. I was just lucky my boss had past by me when I opened it up!

Damn that is fast

Is there an API that can be used for uploading with e.g. curl? Other than that, looks nice and simple.

Nope :( I am currently working on a node-webkit client for windows.

Something that could be used with Tweetbot would be great! I'm not particularly happy with any of the options I'm aware of (imgur is not one of them).

I've attached their spec for quick reference:

-----

HTTP POST which includes the Twitter OAuth Echo headers (described http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_echo)

POST includes the following fields:

    - message: text of the tweet
    - source: "Tweetbot for iPhone"
    - media: JPEG or MP4 data with a mime type of image/jpeg or video/mp4 and a file name of either image.jpg or movie.mp4

response should be in one of the following formats:

    - <mediaurl>URL</mediaurl>
    - { url: URL }
    - { mediaurl: URL }

Their cited example: https://mlkshk.com/upload

Clicking in the "direct link" field should auto-copy the link into the clipboard.

Nice, but is this any different from other image hosting sites?

harder, better, faster, stronger

Bug where drag and dropping an image reuploads it.

Actually, it is done on purpose. It is a feature which allows you to drag and drop a new image on a file page... but I understand it might be disturbing !

No way to delete uploaded images?

So fast, so simple. I like it!
