Very nice site and well executed, however...
It doesn't support Unicode?
I created http://namuna.pen.io/ with devnagari script and it shows garbled text. I hope you know that ~2-3 billion people don't use Roman Script.

#32I wanted to test this and decided on the name "test", which was taken. I tried "test1", then "test12" .. etc. My point: let me choose if I want a nice URL, and if I decide, then tell me if it is taken. I the meantime I would have enjoyed something like: pen.io/fjS7f Besides from that: great idea and nice design.
good point. I'll look at making a random URL function
you can use https://github.com/aaronblohowiak/Random-ID/raw/master/uuid.... -- just call newId(4) to get four characters of b64uri randomnes.. or newId(10), &etc.

#33I like this, however, I'd rather this be something I could deploy privately on my own web hosting. I've been looking for a simple cms system when I write plain text files and something like this generate all the pagination, layout and so forth.
So like a blog? How would yours be different from a blog? I'm curious.
most blogs are database backed. this (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=699780) had promise but it seems to have been both abandoned and gone.
I can write one obviously, but I was hoping to find something that did the layout like pen.io does. Jekyll is close when I looked at it. Maybe I should revisit.

#34Cool. like how it gives you a subdomain, that way you can tell people the address in conversation. What are you using to host/script it?

Seems to work from Chrome... Would still be better to throw in a for browser compatibility I guess.

I am on FFox 4 beta 11 on WinXP and I tried it with IE7 also.

#40How did you come with the concept? Future update idea, if you could collate pages you've created. Instead of it getting lost in the void if you forget the IRL and need it months from now.
What do you mean by collate in this sense?
A loose way of collecting/tracking pages you've created.
