BackWhy did this become to exist?
- The author got annoyed to hell because it did not already exist.
What is the philosphy behind this?
- Today's computer world works on two principles (like it or not): All devices have equal capability and connectivity, and everything in networking builds on a centralized server-client model. That model inherently lacks the option to move anything between devices unless somebody makes a server that facilitates it. Metacrane implements this server without any of the bullshit the big american corporations are putting you up with.
What is the exact feature list?
What is the maximum file size?
- 200MB.
Where is the server located?
- Sweden.
How does Metacrane pay its hosting bills?
- Currently out of the author's pocket, but in the future there are some options:
- If you have an opinion on this, leave a note on mc:guestbook
Can I donate money for continued hosting and development, or just for thanks?
- Donating is now possible here.
