I accidentally built the data layer for AI agents while fixing file transfer

Day job. Newborn. Half-built house in rural Lithuania. Somewhere in there I shipped a file transfer service.

Built it because the internet got boring and I couldn't stop myself. Naive premise: file transfer should just be free. Actually free. No account, no size limit. That's not a business model - so I built a cloud tier to pay the bills.

Then I realized the same architecture that makes it good for humans makes it an amazing data layer for agents. Headless. Scriptable. CLI with JSON output, npm package, A2A agent card. The agent stuff was an accident that became the point.

Named it after a thunder god. Obviously.

Full (but short) story is on Perkoon site.
