Show HN: Edit-This.Page – Instant Publishing, Zero Friction

1 point by neilellis 1 year ago | 4 comments
Hi there, I'm Neil. The author/founder/person behind this. Edit This Page is now a whole two weeks old WOOHOO! And it's looking a little more fleshed out now. Lots of new features such as listing pages, rudimentary chat, timeline, attribution, (very optional) accounts and more. The mobile experience is somewhat improved. Of course bugs a plenty still - but I wanted to share for some more early feedback. Thanks as ever folks!

    I'm drawn by

    "Edit-This.Page - Instant Publishing, Zero Friction"

    "Easily share content with *zero* need for apps, logins, subscriptions, blog setups, or domain names."

    "Seamlessly collaborate using only your web browser - without any sign-up"

    but then when I attempt to share, I get

    "You must be signed in".

    Not Instant Publishing. Not Zero Friction. Not without sign-up.

    Sorry to have to say it, but this looks like a scam.

    Shame, since it otherwise looks like it could be great.

      Perfectly reasonable feedback, that warning doesn't actually need to be there.

      One sec!

        And it's gone! If you refresh the page Chris it won't do that anymore.

        I'll put an optional anonymous filter on the pushes/timeline pages to avoid spam.

        I should have said you can always share, just share the URL to the page. A push is like an advertised change within the app. But it was poor communication on my part.

        Thanks for the feedback, it's very, very welcome.

          Verified. Thanks.

          So now Push does not mention share. What does it do?
