Hey HN! I worked hard to make this so that everyone, even Grandma and Grandpa, can now blog, make a website, or even learn to code with JavaScript!

You can send an email to [e-mail] and it will automatically create a post based on your Subject and Body of your e-mail!

You can also attach javascript, css, or html files to make a full website that is hosted free by just sending an email!

I hope you guys like it!

It’s a great idea. I think it would be a lot nicer to read without the typing animation for blog text. It seems like a fast site - show that off!

[hacker256]

Thank you! The animation site was actually just to show that you could attach a javascript file and embed it in your e-mail!

Is an example without the javascript!

[plibither8]

But... why? Giving a user complete control over JS code that will run directly off the site is inherently an unsafe idea, for you and for the user.

[hacker256]

Sorry about that, a more serious answer: There are already hundreds of thousands of webhosts who offer Javascript hosting - what makes this one any less safe?

[generalpass]

Do your grandma and grandpa know css and js? Kidding! Although if they did, that would be cool.

How much do you hate me if I spoof email addresses?

Is the source published anywhere?

I noticed a minor typo in the header:

  8     <meta name="author" content="Podesta Pizzeria, LLC
  9 ">

[hacker256]

I fixed the typo! Thank you!

It was because of an issue where saving a file included an extra \n. I wrote a script to trim the files and it's fixed now!

I assume each blog is distinct FIOS he’s by the sender’s email address?

What happens if someone sends an email spoofing your FROM address?

[hacker256]

A spoofed email will just be ignored because it won't pass the checks!

[gshdg]

What checks?

[generalpass]

Said the spider to the fly.

[gshdg]

Heh. I’m just curious, and the answer might affect my decision whether to use something like this, but you have a point.

[hacker256]

The checks have changed significantly since we last spoke! Right now there are ~30 conditionals as it relates to determining if an e-mail is legit, and I imagine this will increase and be tweaked over time!
