I don't get why this is #3 on HN right now.
Not hating on OP or his site, just sayin'.
This thread is getting really suspicious.
I just like the idea of not having to register to a new service to make some posts.
Because the question is: how many people use twitter and don't have a blog or website?
Edit: On first glance, it doesn't seem to be able to embed Github gists. Darn.
Edit: Gists is a good one. Added to my to-do list.
* Read Tweets from my timeline. * See who I follow, and follow new people. * Update my profile.
so, not registering, sry...
In order to have it Tweet on your behalf it needs Read and Write permissions. Along with that comes all the other permissions. If I could exclude it I would.
Also, would be cool, if you decided at some point to open-source it or unless you went the startup route, and end up monetizing the hell out of it. Then again, making money and open-sourcing are not mutually exclusive, methinks...
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.
1.) The screenshot of the prolifi.cc landing page has the large black coming soon banner.
2.) At the point where you show the creation of a blog post, I think the left pane with all the markdown instructions is so visually distracting. Perhaps the video can just focus only the right pane...
I really liked the fact that you stated "you don't have a blog and you don't need one.." I think that really reinforces the concept and value of your product.
Just my $0.02.
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.
Awesome weekend project!
It used to be you wrote a blog. Then you started using Twitter as a toy. Then you linked to blog posts on Twitter. Then you got lazy about updating your blog (i.e. Robert Scoble). Then you used only Twitter. Then you realized occasionally you want to say more than you can Tweet. Then.. Voila!
