#62Similar to TwitLonger?
I posted this elsewhere in the comments: "There are quite a few long message services. Most (if not all) are plain text. Prolifi.cc allows styling via Markdown, images, etc. More of a proper article post and less wall of text."
Cool I see the difference now, thanks for clarifying.

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
what does it bring more to : post a blog on the platform you like (tumblr, blogger, your own code...) and then twit the link?
The "feature" I was shooting for is zero-signup. It authenticates you via Twitter and that's it.
It's a bad idea.
I use to have this on my website with facebook instead of asking someone to create an account and link it with facebook.
If facebook bans your website => you can't access your account anymore
If facebook crash => you can't access you account anymore
If your facebook account is compromised => you can't access your account anymore
If facebook is blocked on the intranet => you can't ...
there are tons of reason people don't do zero-signup with twitter or facebook.

#64You know what would be really killer? Fork a couple popular open source desktop Twitter clients and add Prolifi.cc integration.
Whenever you start typing past the character limit, have the edit window morph to add your blog title field and change the button to "Post via Prolifi.cc", and have it hit your back end.

#65i really like this idea! i do not have a blog but i would love to start one, and i also do not use twitter much. but like this idea. but before i would love to see some posts examples.
So you don't have a blog, you don't use twitter. But you like the idea. This thread is getting really suspicious.
lol, that's a funny comment!

#67Weekend project as in "done-in-a-weekend", or as in a side-project?

Technically done-in-a-long-weekend (last Thanksgiving).
I'm attempting to turn it into a side-project to justify buying a Retina MacBook Pro, so I dusted it off, recorded the video, and updated a few bits.

It appears similar, except your posts are tied to your Twitter account instead of just floating.
