Got this fixed, thanks for the detailed explanation.

Tried to shoot you an email, but it bounced. I can be reached at <sir@cmpwn.com>.

There is a mailing list intended for people who want to self-host, for what it's worth. I do agree that things move too fast to keep up sometimes.

I'll shoot you an email.

A self-hosted instance is a good thing for people who use a lot of our resources. Alternatively, donations are nice - it costs us about $50 per 100,000 hits on our CDN.

Thanks for the tip! That does appear to be the issue, I'll look into it.

I have a question regarding the record audio feature. Is that all HTML5 audio? I see it opens and asks for permission to my mic in-browser in Chrome/FF. Do you have fallback set up for older, non-HTML5 browsers? I've been thinking of doing something with in-browser audio recording but thought that it wasn't widely supported enough. Interested in hearing your thoughts.

It's not too widely supported, but we only show the UI if your browser supports it. It's not our flagship feature or anything, so we didn't bother with a fallback.

I will look into making it quicker to get a direct link. Power users might also consider using something like mediacrush-cli.

I'll also try to improve the layout for skinny screens.

It's a side project.

There's a CORS-enabled API and mediacrush.js, it'd be easy to let users "upload" to Hubski and drop a link into the URL field.

Demo

Open source, hosts video and audio, converts GIF to video (which saves bandwidth and adds features), pro-privacy, operates a hidden service, no ads, no crappy social network built-in, the list goes on and on.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at here?
