This seems like kind of a crummy thing to do to snapchat, but I like the idea.<p>I wonder if that could be successful, like a file swapping service built on the same premise of one time only. Charge a nickel a shot or something. I have no idea why that&#x27;s useful, but for some reason I think it&#x27;s cool. Maybe just because it&#x27;s set and forget and you don&#x27;t have to worry about cleaning up later.<p>Does anything easy to use do that already?

I presuming without searching that someone has produced a SnapChat-like application that just doesn&#x27;t delete photos and lets you look at them as long as you like? That seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do and basically impossible for SnapChat to stop.

If someone wanted to add mount support to this, which of these would be better?<p>1. FUSE Python: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/?title=FUSE_Python_tutorial" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;apps&#x2F;mediawiki&#x2F;fuse&#x2F;?title=FUSE_Pytho...</a><p>or<p>2. pyfilesystem <a href="https://code.google.com/p/pyfilesystem/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;pyfilesystem&#x2F;</a><p>I&#x27;ve seen FUSE Python used in some different projects on github, and it seems to work pretty well. I&#x27;d not heard of pyfilesystem until recently.

SnapChat is already known to soft delete only, so really there&#x27;s nothing new here.

What types of files might one actually want to upload to their servers? This falls into the &quot;cool&quot; category for me more than making me want to try it (especially since you can&#x27;t delete files you upload...)

Poor name for the package: sfs is already a filesystem type used in the embedded&#x2F;musical-instrument industry (primary Yamaha). A better name would be scfs, imho.

How does one figure out the snapchat API? Presumably the network traffic is encrypted, were the secret keys extracted from the snapchat app somehow?

You can also just use Cycript <a href="http://www.cycript.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cycript.org&#x2F;</a>
