"Very rarely do you need to update a page once it's been posted so we punted on that feature for now." Uh... okay.

I guess there's some category bleed going on here. I was originally maintaining a list of "micro-blog"-y sites I wanted to try out. Somewhere along the way it got mixed in with these "easy quick single static page" of services or "basically a txt file" site (e.g. rentry.org) At this point I feel the need to bring up Etherpad which is essentially an encrypted Google Docs alternative but can be used similarly. Ofc ther…
I do not believe this to be the case. If not logged in, it will lock the screen and block you reading after a few entries. That's not "free".

#76Earlier quoted context omitted.
Creating a GitHub repo with one file titled “index.md” and publishing it to GitHub Pages creates a single-page site using relatively sane defaults. There's no maintenance involved whatsoever. You can add multiple pages as well by creating new .md files and publishing them.
Try telling my mom to do that or my friend who is a landscaper. Not everyone is technical. GitHub pages are also tied to your account.
No, GitHub pages are tied to "an" account. It can be a secondary "anonymous" account. You can create an anonymous bear blog or one of the other million free writing and zero maintenance tools. It's certainly more anonymous than having to disclose your real identity via a credit card on a random person's page.
Also, what sort of content do you hope that your target audience (Bob the landscaper who is non technical but has a super urgent desire to send a message to the world in an anonymous way) will publish?

#77There is an edit and preview mode to draft the doc.
Hence once something is published, it’s actual GOOD that the original cannot be edited. Write a correction/apology/I was wrong /I made a mistake instead and have some accountability.

#79Justpaste.it is a page that offers exactly what you do - free, anonymous sharing of formatted pages, with images and all. Accessible at Tor, very lightweight.
Because it was so easy and anonymous, it started being used mostly by Islamic State to share their propaganda; so much that they needed to remove the "most popular" feature (as it was always either beheadings or other propaganda).

edit: ah, you have credit card info down. So it's not really as anonymous as justpaste.it, as the ISIS guys won't share their credit card. OK that can work.
