Cool hidden feature: it obfuscates any email address mentioned in the post.

slippery slope. if it obfuscates this, it implies it is meant for certain types of sharing that would also other things to get obfuscated.

I'm not clear what you mean, could you explain?

Nice! We've been working on a similar project http://jokund.com You just send an email and any Cc'ed people is subscribed to your blog. Would love some feedback. By the way, we also open sourced an npm module to handle inbound emails and post them to a webhook of your choice https://github.com/Flolagale/mailin

Looks really good, very nice design.

One request: PLEASE don't use highlighting-pops-up-text add-ins. They immediately get blocked on my end and are an annoying user experience.

This is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine because I have a habit of selecting text while I'm reading. And I'm definitely not alone. I don't understand why sites continue to do this.

The same reason they show advertisements. By installing these plugins they get a share of affiliate income or other louchy schemes.

Your voice is heard. We've removed the highlighting plugin. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Cool stuff! :-)

Feedback:

"The created web page is private to you."

If I understand the system correctly, isn't that misleading? Once you share the link with someone, they could share it with the whole world. I.e. you share full control with every person you share the link with. Kinda like the privacy you get with email (no more) so maybe @mailpin could correct the description to reflect that.

Imgur says exactly the same - your Images are private and its up to you if share them. I cannot imagine situation where someone shares a link and expect the content to be private any more...
