Nice :) One of my ideas about "tripcodes" was that eventually an user could upload a style-sheet to customize his blog, one could see all the post by a certain tripcode and could follow him (rss?). I agree, I like the simple design. One problem (or maybe I'm just dumb): I've pressed the "New" button a bunch of times to post something New, and only after that I realized that I should have pushed "Sumbit" instead. Maybe rename it to "Recent"?

I knew nothing about tripcodes until now, thank you. Won't it be a drag to have to type in a tripcode each time you want to post something? Isn't it better to allow having a username and password, but hash whatever is displayed as an identifier on the screen to preserve anonymity? I'll consider adding tripcodes to something similar I built. It's a bit of an experiment: http://hikigo.com http://hikigo.com On spam, it's not anonymity that leads to spam. You get spam on sites that have username/passwords too, like HN. You can fight it in the usual ways any site fights spam. (A note for HN moderators: your algorithm for detecting spam links automatically deletes a new post from a new user.)

Yes and no, you could just say that the tripcode is a password, and then the user wouldn't even have to type the username :) Also you can save it to localstorage or something, so that the user has to type it only once. >On spam, it's not anonymity that leads to spam.

I agree, let me say that differently: such a site would have a very low barrier to entry, easily exploitable by bots. Just type in your post, eventually a name/password/tripcode/however you call it, and press the publish button. Easier that the usual register, confirm valid email, publish. >(A note for HN moderators: your algorithm for detecting spam links automatically deletes a new post from a new user.) Are you using tor? Because I remember reading that if you create a new account on tor you have to wait two weeks before your account is allowed to post.

Thanks good feedback, thanks! I've changed it to "Recent". The tripcode idea is very interesting...I'll definitely have to think about implementing it.
