<p>I write a lot in Markdown. Notes, ideas, drafts, half-finished thoughts, lots of code. Lots and lots of code. One thing that has always annoyed me is there's nowhere to just slap a .md file, share it, and have it look pretty.<p>Most platforms either try to turn writing into a social network, a CMS, or some AI something or other. Sometimes you just want to take a Markdown file and put it on the internet without ceremony.<p>The paid plans have a couple of features like encryption at rest, password protection, launch and expiry dates, etc. It's probably got a few bugs, so let me know what you think or find.</p>

<p>This webpage is truly the peak of webpage design. It's got everything you need, nothing you don't, will load nearly instantly on basically any internet connection.<p>I was just having a conversation the other day about the demise of niche websites. There really are only about 20 websites on the internet anyway, rather than the millions and millions of vertical sites maintained by people passionate about their subject matter.</p>

<p>SMS 2FA and TOTP aren't mutually exclusive are they?<p>TOTP -> Time-based One Time Password
SMS -> Delivery mechanism.<p>You can deliver TOTP over SMS.<p>Obviously, SMS shouldn't be used, but I was under the impression that the code generation mechanism and the code generation algorithms are completely disparate concepts.</p>

<p>I agree. This design is incredibly strange, and seems to throw away basically all distributed systems knowledge. I'm glad folks are playing with different ideas, but this one seems off.</p>

<p>My kids are now 13 and 17. We've cursed in front of them and "allowed" them to curse since they were little. Language is language and words aren't inheriently "bad." The idea that a list of 7 words is some how offensive is asinine.<p>My kids are exceptional students, smart, do all the same activites as other kids. All the other kids curse, too, they just pretend they don't in front of their parents. It's a very silly game.</p>
