Hmm, so... You've rediscovered the roots of the wikiwikiweb (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb) ?
Nice. Wish more of the web was still like this, really...

#12This is really cool! I am definitely going to mess around with this later.

#13Was this inspired by http://txti.es/ ? Looks awfully similar.
It is based off https://cowyo.com, which was based off https://shrib.com ...which was based off something else presumably.

#16How many languages have syntax highlighting? I noticed Javascript and Python do, but I wasn't getting anything for others. It works great, but watch out for those public pages. It's wide open to spam presently. It's nice and no frills, though.
Right now I think just Javascript, Python and Go. I'm using prism.js for highlighting and I haven't figured out a smart way to deliver the CSS without bundling all of them.
In the future I'd just like to replace it with server-side highlighting.

I'm pretty biased but I super love Pastery, the editor plug-ins and single-keystroke publishing have changed the frequency with which I share code/text from "never" to "all the time". Plug-ins are great, is what I'm saying. And so is Pastery.

Have you been to C2 recently? It's now a web app that load only if you have JavaScript activated. Pretty sad.
At least this one works well on text browsers, and pages load fast without the need for a spinner.
