It’s hard to believe that 15 years have passed since MediaFire released its original web application in 2006! Our small team has managed to extend and develop the service through several iterations on an ever-growing front-end codebase consisting primarily of PHP and Javascript (jQuery). As you can imagine, in 15 years of continuous development, our product and codebase have become bloated, slow, and difficult to develop and maintain by modern standards.
