#2Very nice. I would love to read a list of use-cases, but I'm ok if they don't exist, because this is just a nice hack.

Thanks. The idea was simply - what if you could publish a page by sending an email, but several use cases have come to mind since:
- The quickest way to create a simple web page. - Blogging without having to create an account. - Organisational email transparency - either within organisations, or publicly. - Archiving email threads. - Sharing long threads of correspondence without adding to the thread further.

Another creator here. We have no specific use cases, but the ideas floating around my head: 1) Leaking controversial conversations, whistleblowing, or simply sharing interesting emails. 2) Being one of the fastest ways to publish, could be a new blogging platform, especially for the older generation who is more comfortable with email. 3) Transparency for businesses/government through public archiving.
I would love to hear other ideas.

#6Very cool. I like the idea enough that I want to find a reason to use it, but none comes to mind immediately. The real problem, it seems, is not being able to get something on the web, but getting anyone to look at it.

#7Maybe add the ability to purchase a domain name somehow to monetize? But this would likely take away the email-only aspect.

I think this would be a nifty way to monetize

#9How are you dealing with email? I recently started looking at this and it was a bit more annoying than I hoped for. Currently it seems like I am settling down with Python + imaplib/email modules and a lot of stack overflow Q/A's.

Hmmm if this is a goal you should support encryption.
Perhaps provide a public key and have an auto decryption mechanism with your private key.
