  • Public pages could be searched or guessed; maker says public should not be indexable

    From 1 comment
    • My intention was that public should not be indexable/searchable. I fixed this. However, if you really want private stuff, use a domain. Someone could still guess the URL of stuff…

Alternatives named

  • txti.es

    From 2 comments
    • Was this inspired by http://txti.es/? Looks awfully similar.
      ChristianBundy on HN
    • This reminds me a lot of txti.es. The difference seems to be that this allows anyone to edit a post (in the public domain).

  • Pastery

    From 2 comments
    • I'm pretty biased but I super love Pastery, the editor plug-ins and single-keystroke publishing have changed the frequency with which I share code/text from "never" to "all the…
      StavrosK on HN
    • Yes, but on first glance (without a lot of digging) at the links here, only Pastery seems to be open source (ix.io says it will be...someday), and Pastery (as nice as it…

  • C2 wiki

    From 2 comments
    • How is this different from something like C2?
      KirinDave on HN
