Nice. Similar to https://telegra.ph, https://write.as, and https://bold.io.

View on HN

There's also http://txti.es/ which is by the same creator as http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

> http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ this is pure gold! and check the end of the source... xD

And then there's http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

I HATE gray text. I haven't had a single book with gray on white, not a single newspaper with gray on white, what is this gray-on-white trend in the internet, I don't understand it. But that's illegible, that's an eyesore, and if I were to have to read it, I'd first go to the dev console and change the foreground colour.

>> Black on white? How often do you see that kind of contrast in real life?

I mean where these people live? Don't they read anything on paper? Don't they look ad ads on the road, ads on TV. God, is this a plot on our eyes?.

If it's well done, you don't immediately realize the text isn't exactly black. You'd have to have a closer look to find that out.

The paper color of good books isn't glaring white, either, but has a slight yellowish tint. FWIW, I think the background color of HN might be a nod to that.

They use macbooks with retina screens, for them the text looks fine.

And finally, https://bestmotherfucking.website

This can't be the end...

Well, there's always http://maddox.xmission.com

This guy kicks 455.

I nearly snorted my morning coffee when I read: > Shit's legible and gets your f...ing point across (if you had one instead of just 5mb pics of hipsters drinking coffee)

So good. For the record I'm a programmer, not a hipster. ;)

Every time I work with javascript I'm forcibly reminded that those are not mutually exclusive.

The problem with these sites is, they're hard to discover. Telegra.ph is the most awesome (rich text, widgets for youtube & co...), but can't be found when you type "richtext pastebin" on Google, because the welcome page is too simple, obvious, perfectly ergonomic, ultimately simplistic...

That's why they have URL hacks to make sure people remember them. But usually that doesn't work for me, so I'll be sure to bookmark all of these.

Also https://verbatim.link

And https://pastery.net

And https://notehub.org/
