@mitchellh
Congratulations first!
As I've been reading your tweets I've been guessing that you would starting, which focuses you on Vagrant.
I have a few questions:
When did you think about the first time and when did you really decide to do this step?
How do you start? Bootstrap it by your own or try to go with for a VC?
How are you planning the addon open source/paid addon ratio will be like?
I wish you all the best for your company.
And because I've been using Vagrant every day: Thank you very much.
Every time people think about a solution about this (to my mind) huge e-mail issue I'm really happy to be not the only one who is sick of the existing solutions out there.
I used to use things like Dropbox or other syncing services and then share the link of a file, which is for me an okay solution. But not what makes me really happy.
Your idea looks also interesting, but how do you want to manage things like the file storage time? Do you want to store them permanent?
What will become also some interesting challenge is to make the "send file functionality" everywhere in the world fast, regarding up- and downstream.
Really looking forward if other people will find an idea soon.
I've been thinking for a while now about it and still never found the kick-ass idea.
saying that git is the new ftp is to my mind not correct.
I read that git doesnt handle big files very well the coder from the backup tool "bup" has written. That was why he invented bup.
Correct me if I am wrong, I would really love to replace ftp with git.
