Got this idea for a small project, want to hear opinions before i use money on hosting. Also, i like brainstorming, so i like posting osu related project ideas here to see if it is executable or not;
I reinstall often, and when i do, i loose my replay files. This is because i allways forget to back them up.
Also, some people like sharing their good plays. It would be cool to provide a simple platform for this.
Therefore, i got the idea of making a service consisting of:
1. A client on your computer that looks for new replay files and uploads them
2. A website that hosts them.
Idea is that all your replays are automatically uploaded to the website, where they are kept for storage and sharing. There could be a control panel that shows all your replays, lets you mark some as private, lets you share them, and download them. I could also add a "convert to youtube" option, like osu!replay was(I miss it a lot).
Basically, a simple automatic replay uploader.
Problem could be paying for it. I have a job, so i earn money, but i dont know how many will use the service, and how many replays will be uploaded. I could have a "donate" button on the site, but i dont want to beg for money. Mabe offering a premium plan, and capping storage on normal users? Giving premium users a seperate "convert to youtube" processing server, for lower queue times? I dont know.
OPINIONS!
Also, i need a name.
