I just discovered that the Fling service was not working correctly any more (likely because Amazon updated their API), so I took the opportunity to rebuild it. The new system is a lot faster, because it uses a direct upload to Amazon S3, instead of doing a two-step – upload to the server, then upload from the server to S3.

Colophon:
Rails 4.2
Carrierwave Direct (for uploads)
Files are stored at Amazon S3
Bootstrap 3.2.5 (responsive) layout
Enjoy, and let me know if you have any suggestions.

I am not sure if there really should have been an Easter Egg or just a cool 404!

That is the 404 page. The trick was getting it to fire if the record was just expired, and not yet deleted (separate reaping process cleans those up).
