Hello! This Telegram channel is for news and updates on https://multiupload.us, which hopefully should have new features coming soon!
A beta version of the multiuploader is now available with some changes:

- The backend has been completely rewritten to make it easier for me to add new sites in the future, and hopefully has addressed some bugs. It's possible new bugs have been introduced though, testing it would be greatly appreciated. Any bugs would result in errors posting things, but it should not cause weird or bad things to happen.
- After ensuring the new backend works correctly, I will open source the project so others could help work on it or ensure there aren't any issues with the code.
- I've almost finished adding support for DeviantArt, and there's a few more sites planned for after that.
- The current interface no longer requires your password for most actions, but still maintains the same security. It stores an encrypted version of your password on your computer that is sent automatically with requests.
- There's a work in progress new interface that will allow for more site specific but optional settings without having such a cluttered single page (this new interface does not currently submit anything though, it's just a prototype). You can find a link to it from the main submit page of the uploader.

It is available at https://beta.multiupload.us

If you find any issues, please contact me here (@Syfaro), via email (syfaro@huefox.com), or any other contact method listed on syfaro.net.
Additionally, if you would like to provide suggestsions for the mascot species/design or would like to help me understand what features would be the most useful, please take a look at this survey: https://survey.huefox.com/886794
There's a few new features available on the beta site, available at https://beta.multiupload.us

- The main user interface should be a lot more pretty but also more usable and consistent.
- Experimental DeviantArt support has been added. I believe that everything works correctly, but as I'm not very familiar with DeviantArt I'm not sure if I have overlooked anything obvious or if there are any other usability suggestions.
- It is now possible to save submissions without uploading them. You can upload the image and set any information about it. This allows for further expansion into scheduled posts or mass uploads.
- As an extension to saving submissions, you can upload a CSV file to get details for multiple submissions added at once. You can also now upload a ZIP file with all your artwork and CSV files at once to make batch submissions easier.
- Uploading to Twitter is more useful. You can now specify if you want to link to multiple sites instead of just a single one. It is also now possible to use custom text instead of just the title.
- There is now an option in settings to prepend the title to the body of a post to Tumblr.

As always, please let me know if you have any issues at all with it! If there's any other ideas or suggestions for improving the site, I'd love to hear them.

Update 3/16: You can now upload ZIP files with images attached in addition to CSV files.
Here's a few new features added to the beta site, available at https://beta.multiupload.us

Major changes:
- FurryNetwork should work now! I tested it some myself, but please let me know if you notice any issues from your own use.
- You can select folders for DeviantArt submissions. It automatically fetches folders when you add the account, but they can be manually refreshed from the 'Manage Accounts' tab on the site.

Other changes:
- Optional ability to include an email address on your account. This makes it possible to send password reset emails automatically, without having to manually reset things.
- A setting to automatically resize the submission into a maximum resolution. It preserves the aspect ratio of the submission so you don't have to worry about distortion.
- It's possible to change your site username. Earlier, it was only possible to use lowercase usernames and some people might want to change that to use their standard capitalization.
- There's now a features page to talk about what the site is capable of doing. Please let me know if anything is missing or isn't clear. https://beta.multiupload.us/features

Please let me know if you're having any issues or have any suggestions or feature requests. You can always reach me on Telegram (@Syfaro) or through email (syfaro@huefox.com).
The beta site now has the ability to link submissions into groups so you can upload multiple images and have it create only one post to Inkbunny, Tumblr, or Twitter but multiple posts on other sites. I’d love to get some feedback on the interface for it, you can find the option under Upload > Group Upload. I’ve tested it some myself but I can’t promise everything is going to work perfectly.
You can now select folders when uploading to FurAffinity, FurryNetwork, and Weasyl! You'll need to refresh what folders are available through the Manage Accounts page.

I haven't been able to test FurAffinity because they have a captcha on accounts with few submissions, but I believe it should work. Let me know if there's any issues with it.

I also think I fixed a bug with FurryNetwork that may have been causing errors. If there was a space at the end of your tags, it would cause an error to be thrown for an empty tag.
I was thinking about getting some business cards printed to bring with me to BLFC to advertise the multiuploader, I'd love some input on what information would be the most compelling to include. I'd also love some ideas for colors and layout, but that's not as important. If you have some ideas, please send me a message - @Syfaro!
We have a mascot design!! Huge thanks to @NimRoderickNews for doing it.
Hi everyone, sorry for the slow development lately.

I just added a new feature on the beta site - it’s now possible to save footers for your submission’s description. If you always use the same text (or a set of the same), you can save a template for it and add it to your description with the click of a button. To get started, you can add a template here: https://beta.multiupload.us/user/template

As always, if you have any suggestions on how to improve this feature (or any other feature!) please let me know here (@Syfaro) or via email (syfaro@huefox.com).

(Also sorry if you got multiple notifications about changing the group picture, I’m not sure why there isn’t a way to turn that off.)
On the beta site, it is now possible to upload your artwork to Mastodon. Currently it uses all of the Twitter settings when uploading. Let me know if you have any suggestions to improve it or experience any issues with it.

As an unrelated change, it is also now possible to use commas to split tags when uploading. This allows for you to use spaces in tags on supported sites.
Hi everyone, its been a long time since the last update. Sorry about the lack of improvements lately. I'm starting to review all the existing code to fix as many bugs as I can find before tackling some major usability improvements (checking credentials before attempting an upload, fixes for DeviantArt speed, FurryNetwork issues, etc.).

For after that (or maybe in between), I've set up an easy place to provide suggestions and feedback on the site. You can write your own ideas or upvote/comment on others' ideas. It would be a great help to know what features might be useful or areas that need fixing.

It looks like there's been some issues with FurAffinity the past few days that should be resolved now. Please let me know if you're still experiencing any issues logging in or uploading to there.
