I got an SSL error on Ubuntu, also it showed me the OSX keyboard shortcut's (At least the icons were for an apple keyboard)
This is what I use
http://pcache.alexa.com/images/settings/windows7/notepad-bla...
I'm also a big fan of using standard notepad programs (this, TextEdit on OS X) but struggle to find a good program for mobile note taking. Any suggestions for iOS or Android?
I use Notebooks[1] on iOS. The big draw of this application for me is the ability to synchronize via WebDAV. I do not want to store my notes on any 3rd party server, but want to be able to access them on mobile devices and this is the compromise that I found.
On Mac OS X, I use nvALT[2] setup to use the same directory.
The directory itself is inside EncFS filesystem, which is mounted over cyphertext directory inside Dropbox so there is continuous encrypted sync as well.

I use iA Writer on iOS, coupled with nvAlt on Mac. They both read/write from the same dropbox directory.
You might also like Drafts for iOS - it's really more for write --> push to x service, but it does that really well.

I use Jotterpad on Android and it works well, also can sync to Dropbox (though I can't testify that works well, as I haven't yet)

Does Evernote suit your fancy?
Typed the following :
hello
-----

There are many similar services, I personnaly prefer this one that generates a URL I can share with someone:
http://notepad.cc/
http://notepad.cc/
Also one can enter the following in the URL bar:
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>
But it's different from Blank Slate in that it doesn't allow for saving quickly (I make a PDF or take a screen shot if I need what I write for later referencing).

looks like Blank Slate can also do that (notes start as private but you can "publish" them, giving you a public URL). Other cool things about this one are that it is open source (https://github.com/tomasienrbc/notes) and that there are extensions, for instance to turn your note into a Google Doc. It also works with markdown so you can make bulleted lists and such.
Ubuntu 12, Firefox - could only see three lines before a scroll bar happened.
Also, I was able to type outside of the main textbox for some reason.

Only 3 lines are visible and my Keyboard doesn't have that 88-Key. Seems to be a Mac-Only thingie.
Use "control" not the Mac key sorry! Are you windows? What browser? I don't have the ability to test on Windows or IE and neither does my co-creator (who posted the link).
Microsoft has a number of free VMs available for testing various Internet Explorer/Windows platform combinations:

It also shows the Mac shortcuts on Linux.
Im using Linux Debian stable and firefox
Signed up. Like it.
Tried changing urls, got 200 on private links. Should be a 401, or a 404.

This is similar to http://wrttn.in, which a HN member created.

It would be really nice if the new services commonly showcased on "Show HN" would take the time to correctly implement HTTPS. In fact, since my browser is set to strict-ssl enforcement, I cannot load the webpage at all.

Indeed, the site is being served without a proper certificate chain: https://whatsmychaincert.com/?blankslate.io
Also vulnerable to POODLE.

I have my browser set to everything default and I get:
blankslate.io uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

Not a fan of overriding default shortcuts (ctrl-p)
I love that you have automatic bulleted lists!
Any chance it'll have automatic numbered lists as well in a future version?

Only 3 lines visible on scroll.
Why would i use this over Sublime Text?
Why is it even trending?

This is so cool. What a creative idea. Wish I had thought of it :(
vim

Responsiveness breaks on iPad 4th Gen
It's not a good mobile experience yet. It uses almost exclusively native functionality to the <textarea> element without modification and that just sucks in basically all mobile browsers. I've been thinking about the best way to sustain a solid mobile version, I'll crack that code eventually.
