It's really an opposite of anonymously as you have to pay for publishing using your credit card.
Not when you use a stolen CC lel
But from that perspective, everything can be anonymous.

#102Why did you choose to use Stripe, given you wanted an anonymous publishing platform? While the use doesn't need to enter their cardholder name, their card details, ip address and any reference numbers can be tracked in Stripe's dashboard (Payment method info, Risk Insights, Related Payments). While scheme payments are never truely anonymous, an approach you could use would be to tokenize card holder data and charge i…
Easy and I've never really used it before so I can add that to my skillset.
This was a project I wanted to finished in two weeks so I didn't put a ton of time into it.

#103"Very rarely do you need to update a page once it's been posted so we punted on that feature for now." Uh... okay.
It's weird this is an issue. I don't think I ever edited a page when I posted on a blog and I maintain a couple WordPress blogs for businesses and associations and they never update posts after they've published either. I don't think it's as uncommon as you think, that or maybe people need to proofread before publishing?

#104This is beautiful. I made something similar, Write.wtf https://www.producthunt.com/products/retiring-write-anonymou... Lack of interest killed it.
I'm not excepting much traffic. It's 100% hosted on aws so no maintenance and is basically free to run indefinitely.

#105You should clearly define for users what you mean by "anonymous". Right now, you, Google, Stripe, and possibly others (e.g., ISP, owner of LAN, etc.) could probably determine who the majority of users are.
Anonymous is this context means I don't want my name attached to the page, not that someone couldn't easily get a subpoena to get it.

#106The obvious (to me) question is: what happens when something goes viral? I love the dollar-per-page idea.
These are static html pages hosted on s3 behind cloutfront so I'm not sure of a better solution to handle high traffic spikes

#107Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is anonymous but you're trusting the provider. The payment isn't tied to a page. No logs are kept. It's open source, but, in theory I could be running a version that does log or keep records but I have to reason to.
Don't forget that the payment provider (bank, cc, paypal) also has logs.. using the word anonymous here is a bit dishonest in my book.
I'm using it in the sense of
not named or identified
Not, if someone really really wanted to track down who wrote a page they couldn't.

#108Having a hard time believing that nobody has mentioned the Easter egg from The Net with now you can access your page after creating it!
I think this crowd is probably too young for that reference.. :-) Good catch though

#109A run a handful of sites I just toss up on Github Pages that are only HTML and CSS. The dynamic stuff is .Net in the background. I feel like I've time-travellled back 20 years sometimes, but this is now perceived as "cool" and given buzzwords like SPA SSR.
Cool. That's not really the purpose of this though, but github pages works for a bunch of people. SPA and SSR are not anything like this, or github pages for that matter...

#110Ya’ll complaining about not being able to update a published page: There is an edit and preview mode to draft the doc. Hence once something is published, it’s actual GOOD that the original cannot be edited. Write a correction/apology/I was wrong /I made a mistake instead and have some accountability.
How would anyone find it if you can't link to it from the original?
