Bard.io: A one-day build for sharing plain text; looking for feedback.

• robotmay 14y ago
  I whipped this up last week and I'm not sure where to take it from here. The idea is to provide an attractive way of sharing plain text, such as articles, prose, poetry etc. At the moment it just shows random writings from authors older than 2 days on the homepage, and I don't think the UI is quite there yet. I'd be really interested in any feedback or suggestions.

  so, I need to have twitter to share text? I think I'll stick with pastie or something similar
  • robotmay 14y ago
    I'm not trying to emulate pastie in allowing anonymous posting, so I opted for the quickest authentication system I could. I'll expand it to support other services or a standard signup form, but I'm not planning on opening it up to anonymous posting; I see it more like Instagram, for example.

      ah, I see. then probably I'm just not your customer :)
      • robotmay 14y ago
        That's fine :D I'm just hoping there are customers for the quick-share-creative-writing market!

          I think people should be able to see what it's about before having to log in.
          • robotmay 14y ago
            Aye, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. I want to offer a way of exploring entries but that relies on there being entries in the first place :)
