Hacker Paste
Hacker Paste is now online again.
“Support Hacker Paste on Gitcoin Grants! Hacker Paste started out as a humble project: to build a simple paste bin on Skynet. But once I realized what was possible, my ideas have grown more ambitious. What if multiple people could work on documents? What if documents carried their own revision history?
With your support, I can continue and scale development on Hacker Paste. Ultimately, I want to create a foundation for sharing text documents on Skynet, and it starts here. Make a contribution through Gitcoin Grants: https://gitcoin.co/grants/3094/hacker-paste. I am raising funds through Ethereum.
Through quadratic funding, your contribution could be matched up to several times!”

SkyTransfer
“SkyTransfer + skynet-js 4.0.10-beta = Hello BIG files!
There is an important change under the hood of https://skytransfer.hns.siasky.net/#/. We deployed a new version on Production and SkyTransfer is now working with the latest version of skynet-js. Technically speaking, we moved from axios in favour of skynet-js client for uploading files. This move unlocked a fantastic feature: SkyTransfer will start handling big files thanks to the TUS protocol used under the hood! It works like a magic and you have resumable file uploads for free.
Last but not least, we created a grant on Gitcoin. If you like the way how SkyTransfer is evolving, please support us by making a contribution through Gitcoin Grants.”
