pen.io started here. Was noticed by the press and investors here.

Chase - one of the investors did an intro. So far no problems

I previously worked remotely as a freelancer and loved it. Now being in a position to build a team for Pen.io, I'm certainly looking at having some remote devs.

pen.io

i never really saw many co.cc domains in the search results anyway. From what i've heard, many of the co.cc domains were used for distributing malware.

If you provide a free hosting service, you have to be prepared to constantly deal with spammers and phishers.

Google was kicking around the idea of circles long before Diaspora. If anything it was the other way around.

you used to have in in Beta before as well - and then you suddenly, without telling developers beforehand, just killed it. Why should it be any different this time?

I moved to tropo.com and have been much happier

why does it bother you? Even if it only has a placebo effect on people - why is that such a big deal? It doesn't do a lot of harm. Chill

looks similar to http://pen.io/zen - but quietwrite does have more features

I never actually read GTD. But from reading all the hype and commentary on the book, this was the one point that I thought I could easily apply and stick with.

not entirely sure. Its not my page, just thought it was an interesting experiment

more people should write posts like this so the myth of "eating healthy is more expensive". And it doesn't need to be boring food like in this post. Italian peasants have been spending much less than $3 a meal for centuries and have one of the healthiest diets around.

congrats!

Well pen.io already offers no logos (branding), pagination, anonymity and HTML support.

A professional version of the product will be released later on this year which covers pretty much the rest of the features

pen.io doesn't yet support markdown, but I'm planning on adding support for it.

No of of course not. I'm a sole founder - I founded Pen.io and a bunch of other stuff. I recently was at the Launch conference. The judges new I was a sole founder and that didn't stop me winning an award and get a bunch of attention from both press and investors. Of course, it might not matter with my app, but even from the sound of yours, I doubt people will worry that much about the people behind it.

If you worry about silly things like that, you won't get anywhere.

email anthony@feint.me - currently looking for a php developer.

Pen.io is

you can have: this-is-a-test.pen.io plus with the current model I have you can also have: this-is-a-test.pen.io/page/1 etc. So actually people can create more pages.

Love the idea. I was thinking of something similar - my implementation was a bit different but I like the idea of hashtags.

I use MaxCDN and will use it for this project as well.

fixing that now

or like my own Write.fm - similar idea but some key differences (subdomains, markup, multiple pages etc). I like the idea of TidyPub though

must be. Registered it at Iwantmyname.com - a very good registrar that I use a lot

good idea. I'll look at putting it somewhere on the edit page

that bug should be fixed now

sorry my mistake and thanks for picking it up. Passwords are now hashed and working on the js now

good point. I'll look at making a random URL function

thanks for the pickup. Fixed

Yes Google or hosting on another CDN is the best option. Its something I will switch over to.
