Although it is based in part on the DropMocks code.. I know that the backend is entirely different. Everyone cites min.us as an image sharing service but I use it everyday to share HTML, CSS, PHP, MP3, AI, PSD and more files.

IMHO, leaning on someone else's UI is fine... taking someone's backend (the harder part) is robbery.

I haven't dug into this code at great length, but it looks like the images-only limitation is totally artificial, gated by the isImage method on line 23 of https://github.com/glenmurphy/dropmocks/blob/master/files/mo...

Anyways, Dropmock's server-side code is ~500 lines of Python, the bulk of app code is in JavaScript and comparing files like https://github.com/glenmurphy/dropmocks/raw/master/files/moc... and http://min.us/smedia/minus/scripts/mock.js suggests that the heart of the "harder part" is still Dropmocks.
