- prawn 13y agoWhile I have long thought there is scope for someone doing "blogging for those who don't want the commitment of a blog", I think your MVP is a bit too MVP. One thing you could do to instantly improve is use better URLs for entries - even something like onetimepost.com/23982/ has to beat what's there now.
- uokyas 13y agothanks for the feedback, will look into that.
- yashg 13y agoIdea is good, execution is a bit shaky. On my first attempt the post appeared and disappeared after I hit Enter in Author field. URL definitely needs to be better. Do what word press does, if possible convert the title to url replacing spaces with hyphens. Remember the Author name in the cookie. Next time I come prefill the author name. Include author name in url like onetimepost.com/{author}/{title}. Great SEO.
- bambax 13y agoI had a similar idea with Urgeous: http://urgeous.com/ http://urgeous.com/ It lets one blog by email, without the necessity of prior login ("no login necessary... or possible"). It's not generating much interest but the one consistent advice I got was that people would like to personalize the experience (register their own handle instead of having their posts listed under a number). So I'm working on this feature now. Good luck to you anyway!
- Skoofoo 13y agoUrgeous seems better thought out. It makes clever use of an interface that most are already familiar with, has a better visual design, and it doesn't put DISQUS ads on your content. I'd rather use this or GitHub Gist.
- webwanderings 13y agoI sent a test email, nothing happened. I think your idea/site needs explanation. I cannot tell what your site provides.
- bambax 13y agoNormally Urgeous responds with the url of your post. If you still haven't received anything in the next few minutes you can email support@urgeous.com with the same email account and we'll look into it! Thanks for testing. Also thanks for the info that it's not clear what the service does; I'll add a simple description.
- webwanderings 13y agoYou should keep it simple: blog via email, or something like that. I also agree that people would want their own username in the URL and the URL itself needs to be descriptive. Unless you're building a throw-away type of blogging system where people can blog anonymously, I think it makes sense to give users the ability to have easy-to-read blog setup.

- netcan 13y agoThis is one of those ideas that I think needs to discover some little nuance to work. Some use-case or utility it can slot into. Context-less web publishing or is something that (IMO) has been tried in various forms and it doesn't seem to build momentum. The thing is, there are fairly easy no-specialized tools for this that a lot of people already use. Google docs & dropbox, for example. The way I could see this taking off is for some sort of culture to arise around it. EG, it could work for 'ask/show HN.' Stuff that's needed for a limited time and for the purpose of a discussion.
