thought you could hide from us with the sneaky upload? think again! Thank you

[@RideTheTeacups]

WOW!!! I was using cloudinary for my project, but clearly not anywhere near its full potential. This was fantastic; thank you. Now I feel like I need to refactor and clean up my main personal project.

[@colbyfayock]

💯 tons of awesome feature. Hmu if you have any questions

[@arkknight101]

Can you tell me how to install this on my pc, i am not a coder but loved this and want to use it

[@colbyfayock]

@@arkknight101 hey you can find the instructions here: www.photobox.dev/getting-started however there's not really a way thats easy for a non-developer to use

[@jeevangowda3309]

@@colbyfayock bro i am also doing a project on this can u help me with it if possible plz send the github link of our project

This is gold

[@mrjorgemonteiro]

Great video but i wonder why you did not include the Album, tag and the Dark option on it.

[@colbyfayock]

simply just trying not to go way overboard in scope, though the way we handled tagging Creations can be easily applied to an albums mode. happy to answer any questions around that sort of thing

28:04 Code shows an error how it is still able to upload ?

[@colbyfayock]

hey which error are you referring to? not seeing what you mean from the timestamp

[@pradeepCodes-ws9tt]

@@colbyfayock in the route.ts file after we make sign-cloudinary-params

[@pradeeppanja1930]

If you can see after 20 seconds from the timestamp the route.ts shows an error what does that mean how it is still working?
