I really love ideas like this (and this one is so nicely done!). Reminds me of when "wiki wikis" first started, and many were publicly editable (ah, simpler times!). I'd love to see a real-time chart of the number of active pages... watch how it ebbs and flows over time.

Also, I started to make a "choose your own adventure" game, but I realized that would be the end of my day's productivity!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Good idea! Currently it supports some HTML elements using Rails' simple_format ( , , etc), but Markdown would definitely be an improvement.

Not really related, but I just browsed through all the projects on http://unfoundedlabs.com/ and really enjoyed it. You have a unique voice and an artists sensibilities which will now serve as an inspiration to me.

Just a warning that there might be some NSFW content on the websites. The very first site I opened (the one about a collaboration on shirts or similar) has a half naked woman in the first picture.

Ephemera. I miss living in New York City because of the street art. The web would benefit from open air ephemerality. Real ephemerality, not "your photos and videos disappear to our digital vault, probably forever." Also: > Passwords are optional. This makes me happy.

This sentiment is actually what originally drew me to places like 4chan on the internet. If you miss it, you just miss it. I felt like I legit HAD to be on the board or else I would miss the best joke or thread.

No idea what that's called. Maybe hipsterism? I liked to know that what I'm seeing is authentic, real, and limited (even if it was technically available to everyone in the world).
