Out of curiosity, how are you preventing spoofed email spam? It looks like you're accepting everything to one generic email address, and posting via the senders address?

#292Earlier quoted context omitted.
You certainly have a point about "private". As you say, with a service provider. Or with family, friends and associates. But none of that is relevant for "private diary". There, it's privacy between you and your diary.
Plenty of people had “private” LiveJournal accounts back in the day with no expectation that it was a zero-knowledge system. Just that they weren’t sharing it. I may not be a good indication of “most people”, but I just don’t think that most people think of privacy in the way that we (folks who know details of encryption and metadata leaks) do.
Fair enough.
But that's the problem, isn't it? I mean, many people do (sort of magically) think that their online stuff is private. And then they get pwned in one way or another.

#294Congrats. This is cool. Quick question. Did you pull this off in one day (after PG's tweet)? If yes, that is mighty impressive.
Looks like they built it at least 8+ months ago, it was posted HN around that time.
