One tiny qualm! The dragging on the "Text | Map | Embed" is too sensitive. Usually when most people click, their mouse goes up a few pixels from the the pressure of them pushing down on the mouse button. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't click on the buttons, until I realized it was dragging the entire box because my mouse moved slightly when I clicked!

#32It would be great to have a quick rendering on the side and split the site in half, left side editing, right side live preview.

#33I read the description on the site and said "I love this thing," without even testing it.
Edit: Now After Testing.
Wow, how delightful.

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…

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. If you care that little about the way you are presenting your information that you can't even be bothered to sign up, you most likely don't care about having fancy HTML formatting. The re…
The appeal is the simplicity. And certainly there are users who would like a decently formatted HTML page without signing up; hence the whole "imgur for websites" approach.

#35It looks great, congrats on shipping.
Maybe an option to email an auth token in case the cookie is lost so you can continue editing? Or maybe just a password/key.
Re: Show HN: Sitekite – Imgur for Websites
#36I don't see the appeal behind this. The reason why there was a need for off-site image hosting is because people and websites like reddit didn't want to pay for the bandwidth or be forced to deal with takedown requests. A decade ago, bandwidth was much more expensive, and it was only because it got much cheaper that imgur's business model of allowing free direct linking is even possible now. If I want to share an add…

I actually created a site for hosting text (that looked pretty) that doesn't require signup and is very minimal and clean: http://www.millisay.com
Right now it doesn't support any markdown or image embedding mainly because not too many people use it, but I wouldn't be opposed to adding it if users saw the need.

#37Good work, very nicely done. This has great potential especially for online marketing. Imagine being able to put together a new deal site or ad within minutes and sharing it on all social media channels. Some sort of basic logging/Analytics could be sold as a paid service. Future enhancements could be login, draft/publish mode, multi-user/collaboration, logging/analytics.

#39I 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.
