Nice! How about a script for a *NIX command line? $ tidypub -t 'Any Title'
$ ./tidypub -t "How about this?" This is a python script I just wrote. Unfortunately, the white space gets lost. Try https://gist.github.com/721676
Looks really awesome. I dig the clean interface/presentation. The app is done well enough where nothing is overtly bad or glaring. That being said, I do have a few light thoughts & suggestions. - I agree a source textbox for citations would be nice, but it's not too pressing considering you can include it at the end. In a similar vein, an author box would be nice too. - Any reason why the URLs are 5 letters long? Not…
At least linkify urls. It's trivial; use http://daringfireball.net/2009/11/liberal_regex_for_matching... Interestingly I chose 5 letters as well for my url shortener. e.g. http://twitter.com/akkartik/status/7915316453580803
Save you a click.
To add to my earlier comment: Jottit https://jottit.com has the same minimalist interface, but has a lot more features to offer. * "WYSIWYG" editing with Markdown syntax. * Custom subdomains * Access control * https * Custom theming etc.,
Jottit is about making a website -- multiple pages, themes, etc. It's more like a quick wiki. It's certainly not as readable or pretty, but is quite utilitarian -- not a bad thing, just different.
So, despite the two both beginning the process with a simple textarea and a button, they're not the same, and neither should strive to be the other.
I find that the most of spam that I get on paste site I run is deplorable link spam for illegal content. I'm not talking about warez or torrent links either. I ended up having to write a filtering to look for keywords and url to content analysis and then submit content that triggers the filter to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Best of luck.

I don't think they're after the same thing, despite the similarities. TidyPub is pretty, readable, and, to use a term from the site, 'classy'. It's about ONE entry. One page.

Aaron Swartz did it first with http://jottit.com/
Jottit works without JavaScript and also has a HTTPS version: https://jottit.com/ There is also a HTTPS-Everywhere ruleset for it in the current development branch. For those reasons alone, I would always choose jottit over tidypub...
I love this! Tons of places to dump text on the web but I've never seen one that gives you a clean page. Suggestions: - Set a cookie and let the poster edit/delete the page after it's published. They will make typos, mess up the formatting, post while drunk, etc. - Markdown formatting. You need at least bold and italics. You could even have a small toolbar. I don't think the editor needs to be super minimal, just the…
I'm not sure if I would agree with Markdown, depending on your audience. I'm of the opinion that trying to teach the concept of markup to ordinary people is always going to alienate some non-technical users. I'd just suggest adding buttons for bold, italic & link. That way you can still keep it simple. I'm all for having a ruthless approach to unnecessary features.
