uberzet··on Show HN: My weekend project - Uberzet
Yeah I just threw in the default 'twitter bootstrap' zebra-sorted table. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#tables

Again, just a weekend project so all the bells and whistles aren't really there.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding you here - but - ~/Dropbox/Public might be what you're looking for?

For those wishing to remove files from the index: Move the file from your top-level Public folder into a (sub) folder within your Public folder. see : http://uberzet.com/sharing-more

Yes, agreed, sorry. Initially I thought it would be a great 'minimum friction' entry point.

I'll implement removal functionality when I have time. In the meantime you can email the address on the contact page and I will happily remove the offending files from uberzet.

Yeah unfortunately that is correct. As a quick hack I couldn't really be bothered to code up a deauth callback (in-fact I'm not even sure of Dropbox has this).

If you email me at the Contact address I'd be happy to manually remove any files you want removed!

From the landing Page: "What is Überzet? Überzet a new way to share and discover files. It's built on top of your Dropbox Public folder. "

Then there is a link to http://uberzet.com/sharing-more - which goes into more detail on this.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah - it only links with the top level foler - basically for simplicity of design. As explained here : http://uberzet.com/sharing-more a possible use of folders within your Public folders is to 'hide' files from Uberzet.

Anyway - there are obviously some pretty gaping holes in messaging and functionality. If I have time in the future I may fix these things up. Again, thanks for the feedback!

Yes, Uberzet has access to your entire Dropbox (as is made clear in http://uberzet.com/sharing-more it doesn't access anything other than your Public folder.

Interesting - I'm guessing you're they guy who uploaded 'cash.html' a link to 'donate to your startup' - then hammered it's /download GET request 1338 times to make it the most popular file on the system.

Whilst I am at fault for exposing this as a possibility on my system - I think it's seriously not cool to exploit a very unambitious weekend project like this for your own financial gain.

Hm - not sure I recall that. I went through a fairly intense app verification process with Dropbox though - so I'm sure that won't happen.

In-fact you're only giving access to the Public folder. The idea being that if you're willing to share it publicly ... well you're willing share it publicly : )

In any case, it's obvious that I haven't communicated that clearly enough. Thank you for the feedback : )

This is really awesome very excited to start using. I've also been working with the Dropbox API on a file-sharing-platform.

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously I am not communicating what uberzet is clearly enough.

You can do a keyword search. Also you can view popular files on uberzet. Finally you can ask uberzet to show you a random file.
