AXE : New upload site - Previews

[Dentafrice]

Well, I told you I was working on another 'upload site', and I have worked furiously on it the past few days.

First off, let me say.. no, it is not going to be called 'AXE', that is just the 'codename' for it while it is in development.

I've been working quite hard on it the past few days, and let a few users already get on and begin testing (although it's improved quite a bit since they joined in :]).

Well what's the point in posting if I don't show some previews?

No this is probably not going to be the final design, I know (ew right?), but it's good enough for development :]

Here is the main page of AXE, before you login, or anything:

Main Page



Login



Register



Dashboard Draft



Upload Successful

Here you can see the top link is an image, which shows a thumbnail, the bottom uploaded is a file, it has no thumbnail.



Settings



-- Backup

With this simple utility, you can download a backup of your entire account if you ever decide to cancel your account, or clear your account.

Once you take a backup, the next backup you take will only include the files that you have uploaded since the previous backup (if any), you can choose to override this and make a full backup if you wish.





Share File (share/bla)



---------------------

Canceling your account/clearing all files requires you to enter your password to complete those actions.





---------------------

This is also the fastest version of an upload site that I have coded, TehUpload or not




Hopefully you'll see this coming soon, any idea on what you would want in this site?

I see you've allowed .txt files and such, possibly allow mp3s and such so people can press play and listen to a mp3 that someone has uploaded and if they like it they can download it? That way it could be used as a p2p downloading site too.

Other than a new layout, I can't really think of anything to add to it.
Will you be converting the TU app to work with AXE?

MP3 files, if allowed to be hosted (due to space and bandwidth issues), will not be allowed to be downloaded outside of the original uploader.

This is due to copyright issues, and many other things, we just can't allow that.

That is a big possibility, that I will convert the TehUpload application to work with AXE, not until after AXE is finished though.

I want a stable site before the application comes in.

Obviously
Bully Matt into doing the design, your coding + his designs = nom nom nom.

Oooo new question, why not just update TU instead of creating a whole new site? TehUpload is a pretty decent name.

[Dentafrice]

Because if I update TU then some features may be removed (albums, etc) and people will complain blabla

Plus I'd have to convert and import all tehuploads users and files to AXE. Both sites have majorly different structures.

I want your opinion on the backup feature though, what do you think?

You're getting rid of albums?

Now that's just laziness

I was going to comment on that before, but I got distracted by Jake 2.0
I think it could be an extremely useful feature, but I think you should keep albums and be able to backup each album individually, much better
And possibly add password confirmation thing to the backup feature too. In case someone's account is compromised and they have private files on there, it should slow the intruder down slightly, although admittedly not much. There was another less pointless reason why I think you should add the password thing to it, but I forgot it

[Dentafrice]

I'll consider adding the password protection onto it.

The site is going to support a lot more then images, so having albums (which have to do with photos) is kinda pointless right?

Where would text, doc, things like that go?

[J0SH]

Might aswell just add to TehUpload really, no point in two different upload sites, and keep albums, it's the only reason I use PhotoBucket really.

[Dentafrice]

Read my post above about the albums, if I'm going to host files too, albums are not feasable.
