CloudApp

CloudApp Viso, the open source project that powers the links you share, received a major overhaul this week.

What’s Changed?

Here’s a quick and dirty list of what to look for:

• Images are scaled to fit your browser. Click or tap the image to toggle the original size. Append /o to a link to share the original size by default.
• The content of plain text, Markdown, and code files are shown front and center.
• The direct link to any drop is easily accessible.

Images

With more and more apps using CloudApp to share photos, the old image viewer was showing its age. The new image viewer resizes images to fit inside your browser with the original dimensions only being a click or tap away. If you want to make sure the person you’re sharing with sees the full size, simply append /o to the link or copy it from your address bar after zooming the image.

Markdown

We love Markdown. We blog in Markdown, we email in Markdown, and we answer support tickets in Markdown. It’s only natural that we want to share Markdown.

Markdown files are processed by RedCarpet and rendered beautifully for your reading pleasure.

Code

Code drops are syntax highlighted thanks to Pygments and RubyPython. Pygments supports a plethora of languages so give your language of choice a try.

Mobile

Small screens love the new views. Images are clearly visible and text is a joy to read.

Branding

Free CloudApp accounts feature a gorgeous (if I do say so myself) badge in the upper corner letting the world know you’re using CloudApp to share. It’s a small, beautiful price to pay for using our forever free plan. Hate the badge? Upgrade to CloudApp Pro and see it no more!
