Not interested in being acquired or funded. Just built a little idea we've been sitting on for a while, and largely just to test out a few other projects in the field – things we're hoping to open source sometime soon.
I picked the Forward green, nwah picked the Torpedo blue – nothing more.
Torpedo isn't intended to replace DropBox. We just think about file sharing a little differently – we'd rather think of it the way sharing files over IM is supposed to work (which it doesn't), or the way AirDrop works.
We personally don't use DropBox, but a lot of people do. Hopefully DropBox will add the feature for those users, but I think they solve a different problem and it's probably not a priority to them.
We'll get an FAQ section up on the site with the questions from this thread, all good feedback.
