Shameless plug - I built Hacker Spring so you can blog or host your website by just sending an email.
Hacker Spring is now Pseudonymous

I just added a dark mode toggle (no cookies still)! Hope you like!

It now indicates that there is a script by putting [JS] next to the title. Links that redirect elsewhere have an arrow in the post title appended!
Thanks for the suggestion!

There is no edit, but you can delete and repost! Just go to your sent mailbox and find the email, click on the mail you sent us, and hit reply. Then type "$DELETEME" as the first text in the body.

Nice! I hope you'll give this a shot too! :-)

Agreed.
We offer a public API with no access, so there is limited risk and, in addition, we do not use cookies. There are some dangers, but it's really limited in this context!
An attacker can just as easily perform the same attacks with free webhosting on any of the thousands of free webhosts!

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?

This is a great idea. I've actually started down this path a bit, and will add the actual email relay tomorrow!

I updated it to hide name and email by default.
If people wish to expose their name and email, they can include an email signature!
Edit: If you already posted, this page was already archived so you should create a new e-mail address if you want to be pseudoanonymous.

Unlisted posting is complete. If you send to [email protected] (or [email protected]) the post will not show up in new/popular/categories. However, it will still show up in your user view.
If you want it to be visible with a link only and not even show on your user page, you can send to [email protected].
Anonymous posting is coming next!

You can now send to [email protected] and it will not show in the public popular/new/category view. However, it will still show in the view of all posts from your e-mail address.

Sorry dang. I didn't understand why that was being pointed out, but I will keep all of my posts neutral on a go forward basis!

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!

This isn't defensive. I'm simply stating that anonymous posting is different from named posting. That said, I will be adding a way to do anonymous posting and unlisted posting today. :-)
Thank you for your suggestions!

> This is a repost of a banned submission:
Wrong. It's a repost of a flagged submission that was flagged due to the nature of its name and reposted. The real hacker community loved the podesta pizza name. HN not so much so I renamed it to Hacker Spring!
Good find though! Keep it up Sherlock! :)

This site isn't an anonymous posting forum. If you want to be anonymous you can use an anonymous e-mail account, but for everyone else it's to speak with your name and your voice.
What you're looking for is a different service with different goals, and that doesn't make this one worse at what it is trying to do.

> Im confused - so my collection of posts is contained under "category +me"
Yes
> Does it post inline images from within the body of the email? I must have missed that part.
Yes! You can include anything you can with HTML and e-mail. You can even include a .js or .css file!
> By your definition, HN would be a blog - as I can post to HN, and it just shows up under /new I just happen to be the poster...
With Hacker Spring, it's both a blog and an aggregator. HN can be used as a blog by doing a text post! :-). Hacker Spring just has a bit more features to customize your site since it's fully geared toward this.

Makes sense and I think that creates a different dynamic and community. You can delete emails by just sending $DELETEME.
There are more commands available in https://hackerspring.com/faq
It was considered to do 'unlisted' posts, but in the end, what's a blog if it's not for worldwide publication?

I agree! I really hope this takes off and also sparks a revolution of making things easier for people!

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!

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

Thank you! The animation site was actually just to show that you could attach a javascript file and embed it in your e-mail!
https://hackerspring.com/p/protonmail.com/hackerspring/5ec06...
Is an example without the javascript!

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 [email protected] 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!
