Give me a way to hook-up an AWS bucket to copy the media there, and I'm sold.
Any plans for this?

Hi Scott,
Actually if you sign up for a full Chute API account here: http://bit.ly/chute-signup
You can customize your credentials immediately!

Neat API. It would be cool if it did the same thing for videos or gathered photos from a URL
We are already testing video actually and URL-based imports will be added even sooner.
Sounds like a re-implementation of Web Intents: http://webintents.org/pick
Does Chute register as a 'pick' intent handler? If not, do you plan to?

We've looked into Web Intents but haven't quite taken the complete leap towards implementation.
We're definitely huge fans and think that it is an area we should aim for. Native browser support would be ideal but the shim looks really promising.
Have you successfully implemented this intent anywhere? Would love to see it.

Not pick, but I added view, subscribe, and share to the latest version of the WordPress.com Web app in Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/khjnjifipfkgglficm...

What a great, simple API.
Does anyone know of a service like Chute that allows the user to resize/crop the photo after uploading, without my site having to get involved?

So the main tool we've seen that can handle this is offered by Aviary.
JS lib would be more correct than "jQuery lib" on the title. Yes, it has jQuery as a dependency, but it's not a jQuery plugin nor extends jQuery in any way.
Looks interesting, but I can't seem to find a list of supported browsers. Am I just blind?
Ahh, that's definitely an oversight on our part. Adding in a list!
Do you plan to allow customizing of the popup window? (Colors, cropping, etc)
Great question.
The window itself can be styled using a custom CSS which you pass into the chooser.
We definitely want to extend the functionality further to enable other features like cropping, filters and more.

How much does it cost?
For pricing, we will ultimately charge for API interactions with Chute. The first 100k per month will be free.
We will also provide some free, permanent storage for all developers. We haven't finalized the amounts but right now there's no limit. Anyone wanting more control will be able to plug in their own S3 credentials - this is already enable for full Chute API accounts.

//Edit to somewhat address the downvotes: Sorry if this sounded brusque, I'm genuinely interested in what these sorts of services take into consideration wrt their customer base.
