Apologies on the title of the blog let me see if I can come up with one that is more accurate.

I was working on this project, is pretty straight forward in that it's just a way to store random scripts, I usually don't like having them in an open file on my editor because I can accidentally close the tab and I have to write the code again.

Also it's kind of cleaner because sometimes I save these scripts and they show up on git and I have to keep them in mind.

I'm Yasu, and I recently worked on a very simple Chrome Extension to revert google results back to what they used to look like before the recent change a few days ago.

Let me know what you think!

Hi, I'm a Senior Software Engineer, I work for Fond and I'd like to share the position we have open for Principal Software Engineer.

Fond's mission is to create a place where employees love to work. The way we do that is we have a Perks platform with hundreds of discounts and also a Rewards side which is used to give recognition to your coworkers/employees.

The Fond Engineering culture is very collaborative and results oriented, as a startup we spend time and resources on the things that matter and bring value to the business and other departments, there's been a lot of growth in my career here, the stack is Ruby on Rails, React, RabbitMQ, iOS and Android apps and a Go service.

Let me know if you want to know more about this!

If you often have temporary scripts that you want to save somewhere, this might be a place where you can store them.

If you have aliases in a dotfile that you might want to have quick access to when on a new computer, this could be helpful too.

The files will be public and the link to wget the files is already in the roadmap, the links will most likely look like this: http://waterdeep.io/tazard/.bash_profile. As of now there’s no easy way to retrieve those files with wget

> Is there a command line tool for uploading? (or an api for others to build one?)

This is a good idea! There’s no command line tool, I can put together API docs, this is no easy task as the documentation has to be good and easy to understand, let me consider this along with other features that I also had in mind.

Thanks for the feedback tazard!

The idea is to just have a very quick 1 click way to find scripts that you have, Google Drive is more of a general purpose storage, this is specifically for scripts and optimized for that.

To list a situation where Waterdeep could be easier to use:

When you have a temporary file you might need but is messing up your git flow, you can just store it at Waterdeep and access it later or delete it. If you want to do the same with Google Drive, you'd have to create that file inside a folder which can be hard to find.

For the case of GitHub, you can easily have your own scripts there and it would work fine, Waterdeep is more so focused on extremely fast access to your scripts without having to create a repository and commit/push the files to it, which I understand it pretty straight forward to do for most developers yet that friction might be the reason why most of them don't have a dotfiles repository on their GitHub account.
