Thanks - I think more apps don't do it partly because they don't prioritize the single thing they want to be amazing at. Throwww only really has one broad-use case... writing shit... so it makes it easier to do this. Wish I could say it was

Thanks. I hope so too. And good feedback. I was meaning to add some padding, but it somehow slipped my mind!

I think the trend you describe could be put in terms of disintermediation of web properties. Facebook, for instance, tries to be a platform that does everything. But much like real life, products are beginning to specialize because niche pr

Sorry, I forgot to change a variable in my settings file, so Twitter was calling back to my local machine. Hence it worked for me but no one else. Fixed now. As for bugs, for now you can email me... saeidm[at]gmail.com or @sfard on twitter.

Oh and the viewed 2 times is sheer laziness. I set the viewcount to 1 upon creation to avoid potential future errors like dividing viewcount by a number etc. And then when it opens it becomes 2.

What do you mean by extend the twitter? As in post the first part of the article on their behalf? I was thinking of something like that, but wanted to make the use case as general as possible so people can decide how they want to use it. Ma

Thanks, man! (assuming you are a man). Nice scri.ch btw. You still working on it? And as for revenue etc, I just built this for fun last week cause I was tired of how Posterous kept getting more bloated every time I used it. No thoughts abo

The original use case I had in mind was to allow twitter users to write more than 140 characters. I've since drifted away from that, and a plain ol' user registration option might make a lot more sense now. As for user dashboards, there's j

Thanks, and why would I delete it? 1) You can't edit anonymous posts as of right now. Good suggestion though, I could just use a unique identifier to allow you to edit within the same session. If people besides me actually start using this,

Yah, hypothetically there should be more there. Just kept it in there for now to show that "more articles" shows up when you post with twitter. Though I really shouldn't have been so lazy and just written a 2nd article. And thank you!
