Cool!
- oEmbed support would probably make things more useful for users.
- Here is a way for you to add a "Form" button where users can quickly create and add forms to their pages: http://www.jotform.com/anywhere/

#42I like this, but I can't think of the use case where I would actually use it. I'll think about it as I'm living my everyday internet life and see if I can find one, because I love the easy "create and share" concept generally. What's the use case you imagined when you built it? What need did you have?
I didn't make it, but sometimes I write a guide on something (like how to read x-men comics) and want to share it with friends, being able to slap it up in Markdown on a website to link to people is really nice.
Github gists would be decent for that.

Github requires users to be logged in to an account. That's a hurdle and very anti-privacy.

I could see this being useful to quickly put up some info about an upcoming event or meeting. >> There are hundreds of websites out there that allow you to host text or blog. Blog sites typically need signup, so are slower to get started with than this. Also if you think of something like Blogger, it would not be as clean/minimal out of the box if you just want a clean 'single page' to link someone to. Pastebin-style…

You cannot compare those things like that. Not being willing to make all your contributions to a site with the same account or maybe even to have that information displayed to the public has nothing to do with laziness. It can be a matter of privacy or security. As a user I myself see no benefit (i don't even know the password of this HN account).

Who says choosing Sitekite would mean I care little about presentation? Sitekite does a better job than (to use my original example, Blogger) for its intended 'share a single page of info' use-case.
>> The reason why most blogs require you to sign up is so they can ban you when you start putting up phishing, cookie stuffing, or exploit pages.
As a user, I don't care about that, I just don't want to have to signup to yet-another-thing just to share some info with my friends/colleagues.
>> Also here is one that I found from a single search. http://www.c99.nl/
Ugly.

#46How will you deal with spam, torrents, child porn, etc?
Is there an API / webservice that could help developers check for the latest torrents / binaries / badstuff and prevent that upload?
The millions of dollars that went into copyright wars certainly brought up something useful, but I can not find it.
Or is the dmca-related workload just the right anti-growth measure to prevent interesting new things coming up?
How do you explain this to your investors: "The site is technically ok and we are growing, but we need money for some people to handle dmca requests and this kills our business modell."
So many cool ideas are blocked because of the retarded dinosaur-politics of corporate stalinism. We need a real breakthrough here for a jump to the next level. Current copyright laws are protecting the wealth of a very small group of people but do seriously damage the development of new industries and thousands of jobs. Stupid.

#49Nice idea, congrats on shipping. You might want to fix this though http://sitekite.com/hello-world-2o5f7g
Thanks for the tip, fixed: http://sitekite.com/no-more-xss-for-me-vSlYWg
On a similar topic, I seem to have broken something by putting a javascript:alert in the embed field:

#50Sounds interesting! But you should change your CSS for the links. It is not really pleasant and not very practical not to know which text is clickable. Try to find the only link of my site at first glance... http://sitekite.com/find-the-link-npxtDQ
