In my early days of web app creation, I hated.. and in a way, I still HATE creating an account. I hate handing over my email address. My email is bombarded with .. I would love to call it spam. Hell, I remember spam. My Yahoo email was filled with it! But my Gmail? It's filled with "spam" that I signed up for! It's tech letters and newsletters and things on sale and so on and so forth.. useful? Sometimes. A lot? Nope.
I end up deleting at least 25% of my email without ever reading it. I find some email useful that I wanted or needed. And then the rest? Oh I'll get to it... someday? Maybe? I used to go on a few plane trips every year.. and during that time, sitting, waiting, layover flights, etc., I would go through my emails. I have managed to get through at least 500 pieces of email that way... but as quickly as I delete them, they just re-appear.
And as much as I would love to read everyone's enticing article.. I just don't have the time.
Anyways, I figured I'd create a web app without any sign and no personal information. Only requirement is a headline and a password so that you can return to it later on if you wish. And it is being used throughout the world. I don't collect IP addresses, no email addresses, I don't collect anything. No need.. I'm busy doing other stuff.
But I created to rebel against those websites that require email addresses and email you things you don't want. None of that here... at all. I have no interest in obtaining email addresses or emailing anyone. Just wanted to create a tool for myself where I didn't have to hand over my email address "to the unknown" and I'm happy to have shared it with the world.
