Can you help me improve pixeldrain?
Added 2021-11-10 10:14:04 +0000 UTCIf you have any ideas for improving pixeldrain I would love to hear it! I'm especially looking for features you would be willing to pay a little bit for.
Let's have a good old discussion. There are no stupid ideas here :-)

Here is a simpler plugin for comparison which I have on my "Fork_this_when_I_have_time": https://github.com/A5hleyRich/delightful-downloads. Adds a backend interface to manage downloads. This could be extended to save files on the pixeldrain account (just a suggestion).

2021-11-10 15:05:31 +0000 UTCI have tried implementing folder upload before. The browser API for this is quite complicated and not standardized either. I could not get it to work reliably. I have had requests for an android app before. I'm actually working on this now :-). I have never made an app before so I need to learn a lot of new stuff before I can really work on the app itself. Progress is slow but eventually we'll get there.

2021-11-10 10:17:40 +0000 UTCI think having a gallery mode or photo thumbnail view for lists would be a huge improvement, since I often upload a lot of photos as a list and it's a pain to browse through them.
