   Finally a privacy service that actually removes your data from 1,500+ brokers

   I built GhostMyData because I was tired of finding my personal information — home address, phone numbers, family members — plastered across dozens of data broker sites. After trying other services, I realized most only cover a fraction of brokers and charge premium prices for basic scans. GhostMyData scans 1,500+ data broker sites, sends legally-backed CCPA deletion requests on your behalf, and tracks every removal to completion. The automated removal pipeline handles everything from opt-out form submissions to verification that your data was actually taken down. We also offer family plans so you can protect your entire household under one subscription, and our daily privacy digest keeps you informed without email overload. The whole platform is designed around transparency — you see exactly what was found, what's been removed, and what's still in progress.

• Connect Any File Source to Your Upload Flow with Custom Source

  You’ve probably run into this situation before: your File Picker works fine with local uploads, Google Drive, and Dropbox, but your users need to pull files from somewhere else. Maybe it’s your company’s internal DAM, a headless CMS, or a custom media library. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• The Art of Cleaning Files Before They Reach Your Server

  Building an application that accepts user content is a standard requirement today. Whether you are running a classroom management tool or a print-on-demand shop, you need to accept files. However, accepting a file in your file uploader is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in making sure that file is actually usable and safe before it enters your system. This is where we move beyond simple uploads and... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Why You Should Offload Your Image Processing (And How) with Profile Pictures

  It always starts with a script. A quick Sharp resize here, a bucket upload there. Six months later, you’re juggling corrupted HEIC files from iPhones, angry support tickets about cropped foreheads, and a stack of technical debt that makes your “simple” profile image file uploader feel like a mini-project of its own. Sound familiar? - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
