There was a service a while back - I cant recall what it was - but it would send you a question via email asking what you did today and you would reply to it and it would keep a history... I cant recall what that was now though. I really like this though. --- Custom URLs? I am going to try this right now. What happens.... WAIT A MINUTE. HOL' UP. SOMETHIN AINT RIGHT. This exposes your email to anyone on Hackerspring. and allows you to effectively non-anonymously post to a forum, whereby your post is intermixed with everyone elses? No thank you. Here is a feature request I would like: TO: join@hackerspring.com Subject: Join, "PHLUX" SEND --- From: Join@Hackerspring.com Subject: Join, "PHLUX" Hello, Your new page has been created under Hackerspring.com/phlux! Any emails you send to phlux@hackersping.com will now be visible at hackerspring.com/phlux Please enjoy your nano blog! Also, your email will never be visible, unless YOU put it into the body of your email-post sent to Hackerspring, so pllease be careful of signatures. If you wish to delete a post at any time, simply send an email - just as you would a post with "Delete [POSTID]" as the subject of your email! Please be sure to adhere to our TOS regarding harmful content posts. ---- I dont want all my posts intermingled with others. Thanks

Makes sense and I think that creates a different dynamic and community. You can delete emails by just sending $DELETEME. There are more commands available in https://hackerspring.com/faq https://hackerspring.com/faq It was considered to do 'unlisted' posts, but in the end, what's a blog if it's not for worldwide publication?

  Im confused - so my collection of posts is contained under "category +me" Does it post inline images from within the body of the email? I must have missed that part. And I didnt say not available to the world - I said not intermingled among everyone elses posts. That is a forum. By your definition, HN would be a blog - as I can post to HN, and it just shows up under /new I just happen to be the poster... Am I missing something?

    > Im confused - so my collection of posts is contained under "category +me" Yes > Does it post inline images from within the body of the email? I must have missed that part. Yes! You can include anything you can with HTML and e-mail. You can even include a .js or .css file! > By your definition, HN would be a blog - as I can post to HN, and it just shows up under /new I just happen to be the poster... With Hacker Spring, it's both a blog and an aggregator. HN can be used as a blog by doing a text post! :-). Hacker Spring just has a bit more features to customize your site since it's fully geared toward this.

  > You can delete emails by just sending $DELETEME. Does that still fit with the view that this is suitable for “Grandpa and Grandma” if it exposes one’s email address? Shouldn’t a service intended for non-technical audiences take more care in not exposing the users by default?

  What do you mean by spoofing the from header? I do not know much about mail spoofing.

You can now send to tech.unlisted@hackerspring.com and it will not show in the public popular/new/category view. However, it will still show in the view of all posts from your e-mail address. If you want it not to show up in your user view and only with a link, you can send to tech.linkonly@hackerspring.com.
