Why the very short lived support of transfer.sh. What happened, any reasoning behind it. I don’t know, just kind of curious as to what motivated the decision to end support so soon.

It’s open source. There’s nothing stopping anyone from cloning the repo and running their own service.

It looks like the backend is all ready set for tardigrade interoperability:

My guess is because they already offer 50gigs of storage on tardigrade, no need to have another site using more space, they kinda wanna make money not loose money.
