Did Theo Just Steal My Startup Idea?

In this video, I'm sharing my thoughts on how my startup, Edge Store, might be affected by Theo's new service, UploadThing. I'll chat about the options I'm considering and how this surprising turn of events could be a blessing in disguise. 💼 🚀 🤝

Cool project man, had no idea this existed before!

[@perfectbase]

Uau! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 😁

[@shreyanshmishra6613]

Don't lie you knew

[@vibrantneon.]

Honestly quite cool that you both went to fix this problem.

[@davidb.6271]

By the way, both projects are cool and don't really solve anything.

[@ykhov]

Idea is a dime a dozen. It's all about execution.

[@Cruzylife]

Just found you in my TH-cam algo and I was recommended the edge store video. I found your product to be pretty neat and I love how it’s OSS

[@perfectbase]

Thank you!!

[@JasonKoerner]

Coming across this after trying out uploadthing and just finding a few issues with it's fit in my codebase. I'm looking for something a bit more like this on dev and integration. Hope you keep developing it, there's def gonna be space for more than one service like this (i think). Also great dev content here, thank you!

[@perfectbase]

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Yes! I decided to keep working on it!
Hope you have a good experience with it.

[@angzar]

Cool response to what must have been disappointing news. Yeah, keep going with the project. Everything needs an alternative (burger king v macdonalds, visa v mastercard, dougnuts v. cheesecakes -> just made that one up).
You could extend your product to have a few more features etc.

[@perfectbase]

You have a good point! Thanks for the comment!

The Brazilian accent,LoL. Irei subscrever e acompanhar a sua jornada 🙏🏾.

[@perfectbase]

Can’t hide it.. 😅
Thanks for subscribing!

[@Torbikini]

I was wondering what accent that was! I was trying to figure out what “some other for cronjobs was.” I’m not sure if that was just a general example or some actual product.

[@perfectbase]

@@Torbikini Oh! Sorry about the confusion. It was just a general example. I didn’t want to be specific, because I haven’t used them yet and I didn’t want to sound like I’m recommending it if I’ve never used it.

[@devippo]

Great minds think alike!

[@perfectbase]

😁

[@FaizanEjaz]

keep working on your startup. it will help people/developers

[@lpanebr]

Keep it up. Add more storage options. Great work!

[@perfectbase]

Thank you for the support! ☺️

[@shubhankartrivedi]

Added!

[@webdev.eduardo]

Theo just said: "Yoink!"

[@perfectbase]

😂

[@moonwhisperer4804]

What do you think of the Vercel Blob service which is now in beta ?

[@JulioRedlfield]

Hello! I just found you (in a discord server) and I think that your project is a lot better than Uploadthing!
From now on I will be using your service. Don't give up, I think you have a perfect service

[@perfectbase]

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! It means a lot! I hope you like using it in your next project.

[@emlezdev]

Hey, don't lose hope! This project has the potential to be amazing.
Although the current implementations may seem similar, as the project evolves and expands, they could diverge in exciting ways. Embracing diversity and options is always a positive thing from the web community; we are all always looking for something new and/or a different approach.
Keep up the great work! 🙌

[@perfectbase]

Thanks a lot for the kind words! 😊

[@spikero]

People always appreciate the variety of options. You should finish your product

[@perfectbase]

Thanks for the comment!
Many people seem to think that..
I’ll definitely consider it!

[@proMehediBD]

You already bit him! I tried the beta version. Its really great! I will always use this for my projects.

[@perfectbase]

Thanks for the feedback! ☺️

[@davidb.6271]

Keep up the good work man, send us links, we'll test and share feedback

[@perfectbase]

Thanks a lot for the kind words!
The current links are in the description.
Soon I’ll be putting more time into developing the Beta version of the storage service! 😉

[@FaizanEjaz]

does edgestore support uploading other files instead of images?

[@perfectbase]

Yes! 👍

[@bs8028]

Base64 fu all🎉

[@leularia]

i mean why don't you compite

[@perfectbase]

I didn’t want to, one of the reasons is because I like his content and his community.
But I might just decide do compete anyways…

[@leularia]
