Hello! We built sanctionkit to offer an affordable alternative for devs and startup building on crypto, as most of the available solutions are enterprise focus.

We have Facebook in and working on G+ right now. The approach is completely different then Hootsuite where you have this kind of multicolumn dashboard instead we let you organise in single streams everything so that you have a proper unified timeline contextualized depending on your needs, we also extract people and all the media shared allowing you to search trough them. For twitter we also provide much more then just keyword search mentions and hashtag but we have a complete boolean filtering in realtime for the whole firehose that can nail down whatever you need filtering out the noise.

Sure Multiple Twitter accounts are in together with whole firehose access filtrable by even complex booleans that normally just listeners tools like radian6 offers. Facebook also in there, together with Instagram, working on g+ and Linkedin and next will be firehose for tumblr, Wordpress, Disqus. We have a roadmap but we are focusing on the beta now to fine tune everything. Ios apps are also on the roadmap of course

We recently posted on HN about our idea andthewinner.is, a platform for realtime viral contests on Twitter. After some experiments we decided to go more viral and test out the architecture we are using (node.js and websockets). As the Pope just landed on Twitter we wanted to discover how populare he is compared to... Justin Bieber! Are you curious to see how is it going? Check it out: http://www.andthewinner.is/popevsbieber

By the way, on December 12th the Pope is supposed to do his first tweet... stay tuned because we guess it will get a huge hype

Thanks :) being the richest guys of the graveyard is no our goal in life :-P

Yup and we posted before that as well already on HN. pinged the gist guy on twitter but haven't yet received any answer. Look cook the gistio solution as well, although we are doing something less hackerish and more simple to use without any need of github, for the normal user :)

No business model, we just did it for our self as we wanted and envision such a distraction-free writing experience for the web, so we just opening it up for free for others feeling the same way and looking for something like feathers.

Yup that could be a way to go, although I think that when you leave it so, people will just forget to get back and change such settings hover again. For quick deleting you can already do this right now, straight form the public page of the article if you are logged in(as well as per editing)

Yup i see your points and they make sense to me, really thank you for sharing and explaining them further ;-)

There are no solutions for everything and everybody, so don't worry, you are welcome and thanks for having shared your points, always nice to hear from others:)

read the manifesto and you'll see why: http://feathe.rs/manifesto , its all about the writing experience. and in about being able to have posts not linked among them as normal blogs do by listing them. Its more ment for the social web, that's why we called feathers as each post for us is like a feather traveling on the web via social sharing... think of it like the iAwriter for the web :) Of course tumblr still rocks and for its purpose is ok, we just wanted somethign faster, simpler, more minimal..read the manifesto there you'll find why we hacked this project together.

it's a free and hosted solution. NO selfhosting planned atm, and we are thinking of exporting capability, but not amain goal atm.

Agree! Looks like you are not the only one giving us this feedback so don't worry, feathers post will keep floating on the clout :)

Thanks ojr! At least we are building something we wanna use ourself to write with, and from the feedbacks look like others will most likely be happy to use it as well.

cool! We also have the short version of it: fth.rs :)

Thanks Killswitch, if you signup we can keep you in the loop for when this will happen :) The more good beta-testers we have the better it will get for the public release .

Nope, it's a web app so as long as you have a browser you will be able to use it. And on mobile devices article are optimized to offer a nice reading experience on every one, not just ios. We didn't want to overcroud the page putting there images of anykinf of device, but as soon as we go out of the beta we will add more featurelist and explanation on it. Thanks for pointing it out, appreciated.

Hey rob, thanks. Yup I've seen pen.io but it doesn't offer drafting, the writing experience is not that nice and the posts are not optimized for reading nor on pc or mobile devices, and we will also suport markdown syntax for writing.). The removing of article is an idea we have in mind, as we thought unreaden and unshared articles are just dead articles so why not just remove them? But this idea is not implemented atm so articles wont be removed. What you think on this? Would love ot ehar your thoughts on this direction.

Hi, We did post already few weeks ago, and while maybe it was inspirational (who knows) it differs from the other project as the other project was about making github gists as article, while our allow to write directly online, no need to write gist on github, people can share them, you have some reading stats of what you post, and you can keep saving drafts and just publish article. we are more focusing on the writing experience, think of it as an Iawriter for the web :) that's why is not static and we are testing during some private before opening up for everybody.

imho - No comparison to feathers, that looks like has been of inspiration as well to gistio (even from our manifesto) :). Check it out and signup for the private beta!

OK here we go, our manifesto is online and of course written using feathe.rs :) stay tuned!

It will be a free service so not looking for customers but more for people that want to have a fix as we do for the above mentioned problems, so yes probably I'll call them adherents:) Of course we will roll out more in the upcoming days as we are still fine tuning the service.

Yup, agree! We'll add the manifesto there in the upcoming days :)

In our team, we all like to write. We want to share our thoughts and opinions. But blogging has it's own set of limitations and expectations that don't always fit with how we write.

You need to manage a platform (either hosted or as a service) with everything that comes with it - setting up a theme, defining tags, categories and so on. You need to constantly write otherwise a new visitor may think your 2 month old blog post outdated and that you've moved on. Visitors also expect consistency of topic, while we may want to write a variety of posts about different aspects of our life and being. A flame post about the actress we hate, or a personal post about how life is going in general. What's more, the internet as we know it never forgets, while our opinions change.

The word "Blog" comes from the combinations of the words "web" + "log", meaning that all blogs result in a list of all articles. We want to focus on each article and we want to give that article only to our readers. There are enough networks and services that allow you to share what you write with interested people, why do we need them to register and follow your blog as well? Rather than taking up your time to create an intricate blog, why not just offer a direct link to the article and save your readers time too? When that article is no longer relevant, and is not shared or read anymore, we believe it should slowly and automatically disappear.

We believe writing is an important part for everybody's personal growth, but a blog with all it's limitations and expectations can be daunting to the casual writer. If you are curious and believe in our manifesto check out feathe.rs and sign up. We will open it up for everyone soon.
