Show HN: ICanHazData – Data URI Swiss Army Knife
- chadscira 10y agoThis was made to make playing with Data URI's much easier. I find myself often needing a quick way to generate a Data URI when playing with files on jsfiddle, or codepen (due to CORS). So I thought it would be nice to have a website that locally stores those files. This was thrown together in a couple of hours (using react/mobx), and inspired by [0] "The XSS Game By Google post". It turned out that quite a few people didn't know that you could use URI's for things that were not images. If you have any suggestions feel free to voice them :) - [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13021869 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13021869
- orf 10y agoI get why you might want to make this, but isn't it just a one-liner? > echo "data:$(file -b --mime-type somefile);base64,$(base64 somefile)"
- chadscira 10y agoYeah, but its a pain in the butt to iterate when doing that, especially when you just want to dump off clipboard, or drag & drop. Also wanted an excuse to play with a few browser features :P.
- orf 10y agoAhh I see, I can imagine that being a pain (especially with the clipboard). Nice app!
- pvsnp 10y agoHow about this in OSX? echo "data:$(file -b --mime-type filename);base64,$(base64 filename)" | pbcopy or for linux, your favorite variant of pbcopy using xsel or xcopy? Not to say this isn't a great tool.
