An application for secure storage and exchange of data in clouds Cloud-Clout opens its API.
Shot from the series
Good afternoon, Habr!
First of all, the application developers want to thank all habrousers for responding to the first post on the Cloud-Clout blog. They carefully read all the comments, answered them and drew conclusions for themselves about the further development of the product.
The main question from readers on all resources where a review of the application was published concerned the openness and security of Cloud-Clout itself. Users want to know what data an app collects and whether it can really be trusted. This is true. Therefore, it was decided to disclose the details of the application step by step in order to convince users of the complete safety of using the product.
For those who are not yet familiar with the safest way to store files in public clouds, as well as share them with other users, we recommend that you look at the previous about Cloud-Clout on HabrΓ©.
The first thing that will be exposed is the application API. Why did they start with this? Because each request to the API explains exactly what Cloud-Clout exchanges between the client and the server and what information it stores on its server. Below is a link to the API, as well as a βcombatβ example of a registration request.
In addition, developers continue to refine the product itself. Last week, they added the ability to log into the application with a fingerprint - they were asked about this in comments and letters by many users. Now you can log in to Cloud-Clout much easier and faster.
The file sharing function in the application is becoming more and more popular, so they also intend to actively develop it. Now the ability to share files with other users of the application via a QR code is being actively finalized if the users are next to each other (allows you to avoid sending IDs).
In addition, we continue to collect feedback and the developers want to invite you to a dialogue on how to develop our product in the future. Based on comments on articles and letters from users, a list of recommended improvements and potential new features was compiled. We invite you to vote in the polls for the options that you consider the most promising or vital.
And in the comments, the authors of the application are asked to reflect on the following questions:
- Introducing paid premium features in an app β what additional benefits would you be willing to pay for?
- Development of a version for corporate users - what product features could be in demand in the B2B segment?
Only registered users can participate in the survey. , you are welcome.
