How did you come with the concept?

Future update idea, if you could collate pages you've created. Instead of it getting lost in the void if you forget the IRL and need it months from now.

Very cool idea, and nice site. I noticed that you are serving your own jquery. I've read that it's better to link to Google's host as it is more likely to be cached (and other reasons). Is this a conscious decision on your part, or is it just a part of the puzzle you haven't wrestled with yet? (Honest question- I don't know the right answer because I haven't wrestled with it yet.)

I like this... Very minimalist but cool. Rich text editing would be a pretty sweet addon.

Hm. Anyone know why Firefox 4b11 wouldn't respect that tag? It's throwing it into ISO-8859-1.

I really like this. It's how the Internet should've worked a long time ago. ;)

Yes Google or hosting on another CDN is the best option. Its something I will switch over to.
