I see it as a rich alternative to sharing a text on Pastebin. Congrats on shipping, and nice execution. Let's see if it sticks on.
carlesfe on HNI read the description on the site and said "I love this thing," without even testing it. Edit: Now After Testing. Wow, how delightful.

Unclear use case compared to existing tools
From 3 comments
I 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…

Live preview while editing
From 2 comments
It would be great to have a quick rendering on the side and split the site in half, left side editing, right side live preview.
jastanton on HNThis could be very handy when I just need to get something online, and it's not just code or an image, but don't feel like hosting it myself. One thing: It really needs some kind…
