I think this idea is really cool, I just don't see myself using this due to the alternatives (GitHub pages, static blog generators etc.)
I love the concept. It's really unique. I think the per-page cost is a bit high, especially given lack of editing. I think editing ability should be the first bridge to cross, even if it's really crude like delete-and-replace.
Agree with you, but the CC fee's are like 26% @ €1 (at least here in the EU with stripe) - so around $0.50 would be more 'fun' but I can see why it's $1.
One cautionary tale for you. Justpaste.it is a page that offers exactly what you do - free, anonymous sharing of formatted pages, with images and all. Accessible at Tor, very lightweight. Because it was so easy and anonymous, it started being used mostly by Islamic State to share their propaganda; so much that they needed to remove the "most popular" feature (as it was always either beheadings or other propaganda). h…
They will share someone else's (who will then get swated), won't they?
> Very rarely do you need to update a page once it's been posted so we punted on that feature for now. Excuse me?
OP worked at Twitter, we should expect as much ;)

Twitter started adding an edit feature its limited to 30 minutes, and I think its only allowed for original tweets, not replies. It's kind of neat for when you realize oh crap I typo'd.
"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?
But JFTR, I think I've edited around 50% of all blog posts I've written in the last 10 years at least once. And not only because of typos. Some people might need to change their workflow.
I run a similar service which is free and editable. https://html.cafe

It's really an opposite of anonymously as you have to pay for publishing using your credit card.
Buy a pre-paid debt card.
Use that card to publish.
That's anonymous, isn't it? Or does this site not allow that?
