Mit “CloudApp” getaggte Einträge von rainboxx - Matthias Dietrich

For a few weeks now this module lies within my workspace as almost finished, all I needed to do is doing some documentation fixes. Finally I got these done :-).

What is CloudApp?



CloudApp is a nice and small application for all Mac OS X computers. Here's how they describe themself:

» CloudApp allows you to share images, links, music, videos and files. Here is how it works: choose a file, drag it to the menubar and let us take care of the rest. We provide you with a short link automatically copied to your clipboard that you can use to share your upload with co-workers and friends. «

This tool is very handy when it comes to sharing screenshots, as they are uploaded instantly. I use it very often. And because I like it so much I thought to write a small Perl API interface so others can build nice tools around this tool!

The Perl interface

The Perl interface to the API, called CloudApp::REST, is completely object-oriented and takes advantage of Moose, a "postmodern object system for Perl 5". It fully supports the CloudApp API, provides proxy functionality and representations for every CloudApp item type.

You can get CloudApp::REST at the nearest CPAN mirror or from CPAN directly. You can find online documentation, smoke testing results, bug tracker and more at http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CloudApp::REST (once they are available through the automatic processes of PAUSE).

Please test, bend and break!

Yes, please do so! Every bug and spelling error ;-) that is discovered is one less, so please try and test CloudApp::REST. Please report any bugs to the bug tracker mentioned in the docs, so everyone can see and discuss!

Thanks!

P.S.: There are some API wrappers written in other languages, too, and I heard from a Linux client as well. So maybe this will be a tool for all platforms someday :-).
