Who is going to build the next dropbox on top of sia?

Just wondering whether there is anyone looking to build the next dropbox on top of sia now that we have the api that will work with future updates. Would be interesting to find out. Share your plans please

Hello there, I'm the creator of file sharing website http://pixeldrain.com. I've been looking to use Sia for storage for a long time now. I've been actively following the project since 2015-08-28 when I got invited to the slack channel by taek.

Now that Sia is out of beta I believe that it's finally ready to be used in real applications. I think I can get a working version of pixeldrain running on Sia out in a month or two (if I put my mind to it). But because I'm handling user data I want to test it very thoroughly before I switch the live site over to Sia storage. So that will be an extra month or two.

When I have a working beta version I will announce it on my blog, which you can find here :) https://pixeldrain.wordpress.com/

Thanks for letting us know. Sounds great for a start. Keep us updated on the progress over here too maybe

I will definitely announce it here too once I've got something running on Sia
