I built file.kiwi, a file sharing service where encryption happens entirely on the client side. (Encrypted Content-Encoding for HTTP,RFC 8188)CLI: filekiwi report.pdf filepath.any (or npx @file-kiwi/node report.pdf filepath.any )It prints the shareable URL immediately with a QR code, shows real-time progress, and supports --resume for interrupted uploads. When piped, only the URL goes to...

I built an MCP server that lets AI agent (Claude, etc.) upload local files to file.kiwi and return a shareable download link — in seconds, even for large files.Key points:- No API key or account needed- No file size limit- Download link is available immediately after file input, even while the upload is still in progress- Files are automatically deleted after 90 hoursUse case: you're chatting...

Re:Show HN: One-click file sharing. No waiting for upload on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @07:17AM (#43620383)
Files are uploaded in segments, so recipients can start downloading immediately. In either case, you don't need to worry about whether your file has finished uploading - if it has started uploading, even a 10G file, you can download it immediately. Uploading and downloading can happen at the same time.
Re:Description Language for managing file/folder naming conventions on Friday February 14, 2025 @01:02AM (#43045349)
I'm not sure which file naming convention is right for you, but from experience I know that my storage grows and my needs for accumulated data keep changing over time.Changing the folder structure or naming conventions to meet new needs can be very cumbersome, but if the structure and conventions are properly managed, it's a simple task. So, I think it's more important to manage and maintain them so that they can be converted at any time than it is to find the best naming convention, which is one of the reasons I created the file name system.

Thanks for the feedback! I understand that you are pointing out that no can be interpreted as false. I'll have to update the spec to require ‘string’ for folder and file names.

There's no big reason why i'm using yaml. Originally I was trying to create a very simple spec with just simple text rules, like you said. I needed a way to distinguish whether <year>-<month>-<day>-<hour>-<minutes>-<seconds>.txt was a file or a folder, and for folders I used ‘:’ for this.

I'm not interested in the semantic structure of YAML, I chose it because it's an easy format for users to read and write. I'll give more thought to whether or not to use YAML.

it was based from Netflix's file name conventions document (https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360...)

No rule setting needed. just say... "Change all file extensions to lowercase." "Sort by file size and prepend the file names with numbers like 0001, 002, 003." "Swap the parts of the file name before and after the '-' character." "For files larger than 10G, prepend the file name with ; for files smaller than 1kb, prepend with ."
Re:Show HN: Resumable file Transfer web service without file Size limit on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @01:16AM (#38456166)
I agree. I've been running it for over 2 years now, doing a lot of testing, and I'm not losing money (and I don't intend to make much profit). (i think) the short file retention time makes it unattractive for abusers.

be aware that the files will be automatically deleted. (max 90hours) You can download them during the upload, so it shouldn't be a big issue if you download the files as soon as possible.
