I didn't laugh but I found that incredibly arrogant and pathetic.

Pathetic? It perfectly accomplishes my goal: you'll remember it. (Edit: Sigh. Now I remember why I have a rule of not commenting on Hacker News anymore.)

#53Lovely, very lovely. It looks so usable . I've been irritated by lack of features in Tumblr; whilst you don't those features, it does look like you have a cleaner approach for content-creating. Reminds me slightly of Trello.

#55Am I correct in assuming the post text editor was all custom built? If not, can anyone link to a solution that is as clean as that? I love the idea of just typing on the page versus typing into a special box with a hundred buttons along the top
I didn't really custom build it; it's just a normal textarea element with the borders removed and the typography matched to exactly how it's displayed on the blog.

#58I 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.

#59I wonder how many people gave kudos to the post by mistake? I know I did and there's no way to remove the kudos you gave afterwards. User actions should be a click not a hover.
He's already received complaints and sort of laughed them away: http://dcurt.is/unkudo Personally I think it's bad UX, but what do I know; I'm not Dustin Curtis.

#60Awesome. Beat me to it. I treat my writing the same way: like fruit on tree, adding to it slowly until it ripens. How can I get an invite?
