I agree, this opens up really interesting possibilities.
Here's my understanding of how it works, based on the puter.js docs [1]:
If I'm developing a frontend app that could benefit from cloud storage, I can load in puter.js as my "backend". I don't need to worry about user auth because puter.js will automatically ask the user to create an account or log in. I also don't need to worry about managing & paying for cloud storage because puter.js will take care of that on a user-by-user basis - including asking the user for payment if they go over their free limits.
I haven't actually used puter.js yet. But if I understand correctly, this could be a really powerful model. As the developer of a niche app whose purpose is not to bring in revenue, puter.js seems like a very reasonable way to pass on cloud storage costs to end users, while also reducing development effort!

- Ajedi32 3y agoInteresting! What's the advantage of Puter in this scenario compared to, say, Google Drive, or Dropbox?
- lavrton 3y agoI would say much simpler integration. puter.js SDK is super straightforward and fast to integrate.
- dwilding 3y agoAs lavrton said in a sibling comment - simpler integration. I can't speak to Dropbox integration, but every time I've looked at integrating with Google Drive I have felt my development effort growing, not shrinking. Puter also seems to place a high value on privacy, which I like.
