As of now, there's no easy and simple way to write messages on the Ethereum blockchain. MyEtherWallet doesn't count because it's not really something that tech-savvy non-coders can figure out.
Put in a low fee to recoup costs for hosting/domain and also to deter spamming the network. It's easy to circumvent if you know what you're doing though, so it's more of an honour-system thing.
Yeah, that was intentional. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I just want to say that it's not that you never edit. The point is just to get your thoughts down on the page first.
I used this to write my first book and it took 48 hours. And then I spent months editing it before I published it.
I found that I had the best success getting my thoughts down on the paper when I told myself not to look back and edit. So I decided to do an experiment and made a mini-webapp to do this.
In the app, you can only see the current line you are typing, and you are allowed three backspaces at a time (combinations are allowed).
There's also a visual of blurred text in the background to help you feel like you are achieving some progress.
This was just a fun experiment, but I wanted to get some feedback to see if people actually would want to use this sort of thing.
Sometimes a hello world app is just too simple and a todo app feels massively complex. I started feeling this more and more as I tried out various frameworks, so I thought I'd compile a list of increment decrement counters to demonstrate simple state handling with a bunch of frameworks.
The examples aren't perfect, but it would be great to improve them and add even more frameworks to the list.
This is a work in progress, but I wanted to see if there was enough demand by releasing the MVP. I still need to do the google map output and social sharing links.
The problem all started when I was on the phone with some company that needed to ship me something. It was such a pain trying to tell them my address over a bad phone connection. So I thought it'd be great if we could simply recite a short code like a zip code or postal code in order to give our exact addresses.
