It lets one blog by email, without the necessity of prior login ("no login necessary... or possible").
It's not generating much interest but the one consistent advice I got was that people would like to personalize the experience (register their own handle instead of having their posts listed under a number).
So I'm working on this feature now.
Good luck to you anyway!
It never took off, but I do think there's merit to all these ideas. I always figured the biggest benefit of my concept was what Quora's blogs have just provided - instant audience. Rather than needing to write for months/years without anyone reading, you tag things with topics and people interested in those get your posts in their feed. That is a huge win in my book.
Thanks for testing.
Also thanks for the info that it's not clear what the service does; I'll add a simple description.
Context-less web publishing or is something that (IMO) has been tried in various forms and it doesn't seem to build momentum. The thing is, there are fairly easy no-specialized tools for this that a lot of people already use. Google docs & dropbox, for example.
The way I could see this taking off is for some sort of culture to arise around it. EG, it could work for 'ask/show HN.' Stuff that's needed for a limited time and for the purpose of a discussion.
On my first attempt the post appeared and disappeared after I hit Enter in Author field.
URL definitely needs to be better. Do what word press does, if possible convert the title to url replacing spaces with hyphens.
Remember the Author name in the cookie. Next time I come prefill the author name.
Include author name in url like onetimepost.com/{author}/{title}. Great SEO.
One thing you could do to instantly improve is use better URLs for entries - even something like onetimepost.com/23982/ has to beat what's there now.
