Reanimate cubbi.es

Ah, right, thanks Brent. You're right that Cubbies was Dan's idea, and may well be right about the rest - which would explain why I never managed to get to grips with it, although I installed it when it was first released!

I have a user asking about this. Is there any movement on it? From what Brent said, it seems interesting. Is there an active dev, might it come back or is it dead?

For the moment, it's dead, but with the new python API, maybe someone will take a look at it again..

@brentbartlett , "What cubbi.es does is bookmark those pictures, and make them available from your cubbi.es account." I believe it also saved a copy of those images (so that if the 'bookmarked image' was deleted, the cubbi.es version still existed.

@Stephen Marsh , I don't think so. I don't remember any dead images showing up, but the site is hosted on Heroku, and I think that hosting all of those images would take up loads of bandwidth.

While I know this is an older discussion, what about working closer with the guys over at MediaGoblin? They've already put in the hard yards developing a system that supports audio; video and text. OEmbed and a "Share on D*" button shouldnt be too difficult ;)

Sorry for the necro post.

@starblessed take a look at this discussion.

Thanks @torstischulz - Didnt see that one ;)
