Thanks a lot.


I see it as it being very closely aligned to what IMGUR is, but MFile is more focused as a design solution. IMGUR is a social media channel. MFile is solely built to be a presentation and sharing tool. I think there is a large enough market that there is room for others, other than one dominant app like IMGUR. There are quite a few now and they seem to manage ok, except for postimage.org. But they are serving 1.8PB of images per month. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12825719


This is a very unfinished pitch deck for it: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IZuPlSyVR0oVoQ8OQMFy... Basically I see it as a way to share samples/ quick portfolio and have it as an alternative to your existing photo sharing/ social media accounts. I think that can appeal to long tail general audience, if its a stay at home mom with vacation photos or a vendor sending samples to an art director.

I assumed the framework provided some protection against sql injection.

Some frameworks consider security out of the box to be beneath them. You should never assume you're secure even with a framework until you've gone combing through the docs and found where the security is, if it's anywhere, and if it's not anywhere because they spent all their effort on making it look and act like Ruby on Rails, how to get it.


Stop making websites and start reading about web app security, the OWASP top 10 is a good place to start.
