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 love the easy "create and share" concept generally.

What's the use case you imagined when you built it? What need did you have?

I didn't make it, but sometimes I write a guide on something (like how to read x-men comics) and want to share it with friends, being able to slap it up in Markdown on a website to link to people is really nice.
Github gists would be decent for that.
Github requires users to be logged in to an account. That's a hurdle and very anti-privacy.
It doesn't?
I meant for posting, I thought that would be clear.
Gists can be posted anonymously.
I think on it as "pastebin" for writing with asteroids.
