  • Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking

    I wrote a KV store on top of Bit.ly once: https://github.com/apg/bitdb

    And I know of a generic blob store on top of (older) Snapchat API: https://github.com/hausdorff/snapchat-fs

    It's really fun to "exploit" APIs in this way to create alternative uses.

    This reminds me of SnapchatFS[1], a side project I made about 8 years ago (see also HN thread[2] at that time).

    From the README.md:

    > Since Snapchat imposes few restrictions on what data can be uploaded (i.e., not just images), I've taken to using it as a system to send files to myself and others.

    > Snapchat FS is the tool that allows this. It provides a simple command line interface for uploading arbitrary files into Snapchat, managing them, and downloading them to any other computer with access to this package.
