"This is the blogging platform for creative, intelligent, and witty people. Membership by invitation only." Am I the only person that laughed out loud at this?
It does not mean you are not creative, intelligent, and witty if you are not invited.

#32I like the "ideas pane" a lot. I have exactly the same workflow, except my "ideas pane" is just a text file in Dropbox. I work on posts there until they're big enough to paste into my blog. I'm not really interested in running my blog on someone else's platform, though (I realize I'm in the minority here).
This is exactly what I used to do. It was during my attempts to move ideas.txt into the platform interface that the dual pane system was born.
I think I might like leaving my ideas in their raw form, though. I tend to create a bulleted, indented outline of what I'm writing before fleshing it out.

#33If the domain name is invite only, is there any chance that the code will be open source so other people can run their own version of svbtle?
I'd be interested in running my own single-user version, but I'm sure there'll be a clone by the weekend (if there isn't I'll probably hack one up at my next opportunity).
Please don't copy it just yet.
I'm still working out the problems and polishing the interactions. When they're all ironed out, I'll open it to the public.

#34I expected a github link to the software, found... a snobby, invitation-only network. No thanks, amigo, I think I'll steal your idea and release it for free.

#35It's very pretty. I wish I had the skill to come up with a UI as nice as that. I wonder what language/platform it's written in?
> I wonder what language/platform it's written in? I've recently wondered if we (devs) shouldn't adopt a standard like robots.txt/humans.txt, maybe dev.txt or something where we could put such information and opensource links (instead of polluting the UI sometimes with all the 'powered by' braggadacio). //edit: submitted for discussion http://hackerne.ws/item?id=3742784

#37I have conflicting feelings: love the concept, love the design, but jealous I'll never get an invite. At least, happy it exists.
You could lift his CSS.

How many other blogging platforms have boiled everything down to just that simple workflow? I'd say this is much more about execution than about the idea.

I didn't laugh but I found that incredibly arrogant and pathetic.
Pathetic?
It perfectly accomplishes my goal: you'll remember it.
