@paulprins Thanks for asking! I did set the Status to "Pre-launch", but it seems that has no big UI impact here besides the half-moon icon - I'm sorry for any confusion. The reason we're already sharing our work is because early adopters are in fact already enjoying Uppy for smaller projects. In addition, this is a _great_ time for the community to give feedback, as you can still impact our priorities and steer the end-product into a direction that is desirable/relevant to you. Regarding how it stacks up.. A few of the bigger names out there are: - Dropzone, which only does the drag & drop part (it does this very well). - Fineuploader, a humbling effort, but they rolled their own resumable file upload implementation back in the day, no open standard protocol, so it's not compatible with anything but their own php receiver script (and ports), it also does not support acquiring content from other sources than local disk (fetching directly from dropbox/facebook, etc without hitting the local drive, ideal for big files and mobile use cases). - Transloadit, Filestack, and Uploadcare's current JS uploading plugins, but those are commercial projects, and also don't support resumable file uploading in a standardized way yet. Robust resumability is paramount for the mobile usecase as well. You don't want your upload to break when your connection drops due to basements, tunnels, or switching to a different network / cell tower for just a second. Then there's a bunch of older projects that require jQuery and/or support none of the above, that I don't want to talk bad about. The authors should be proud to have solved the world's file uploading problems in their spare time, offering all that hard work for free. I may have missed a few and I'm happy to be corrected. In the end I feel no project out there has the same level of ambition as Uppy when it comes to keeping things open source, robust, batteries included/swappable, adhering to standards, and delivering on a pixel-perfect UI. If you're interested, we also wrote a bit on why we felt Uppy was needed here: https://uppy.io/blog/2016/07/upp...

@kvz is backend part (fetching files from dropboxes and facebooks) open source?

@mojololol Yes, it's licensed under MIT

@kvz thanks for the feedback. The ability to fetch from third party services is pretty fantastic as well. Looking forward to seeing the project progress.

@kvz Will use in near future. Good job! The only cloud service that currently provides a true remote uploads is Pcloud.com

@thetwopct Yes, thanks to the robust uploading provided by the open tus protocol, file sizes much bigger even will be no problem. Your users can pauze the uploads, walk their laptop home, and resume where they left off. Since it's HTTP based, there will be no firewall issues (most airports & other public hotspots will block FTP). And of course, your users will stay inside your app instead of switching away to open an FTP client. It also works great from mobile webbrowsers, FTP would be an ordeal there.

@aginsburg sounds good! And react native support is on our list 👌
