Be aware that you are incorrectly using the .es TLD, since it is requested that you have links to Spain, as specified in "Who can apply?" page here in the domain authority: http://www.dominios.es/dominios/en/todo-lo-que-necesitas-sab...

There have been instances of .es used as vanity domains being requested for deletion: https://www.namepros.com/threads/recepi-es.943453/ so I would be cautious.

Edit: here's the full legal regulation regarding the use of the domain, but sadly it's only in Spanish: https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2005/05/31/pdfs/A18170-18175.pdf

1. I like it

2. https is a must if it is to be successful

3. I entered a custom url like_this and it was automatically changed to like-this, which is nice, but was very confusing, since I couldn't later find the page. I think it would be better to just tell me that I included some characters that are not allowed. Same with dots, which got me while trying to create robots.txt ;)

The use of unencrypted HTTP is probably deliberate to allow it to be used on even very dumb devices like feature phones (see http://txti.es/images/images) and to remove the 1 to 2-RTT latency penalty for TLS 1.2 connections since that can matter when your connection latency is on the order of seconds.

Sounds reasonable. There's no need for HSTS then. But other than that, providing secure connection shouldn't influence plain HTTP usage in any way.

This was done by the author of http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/.

I don't exactly get what this is, but I made this one for practice -- an old joke that got me into hot water at work in the 1990's.

Potential replacement for jottit (by the late Aaron Swartz) though still not as nice (no side-by-side editing)

Charge $.50 to $1.00 to avoid Porn and junk pages.

I've recently moved in the direction of creating pages that look like this for my own website. I have a T-Mobile hotspot and it's not uncommon to find myself with 2G service. I can't even check the score of a basketball game with 2G.

https://github.com/x3nu/CLItexties is a CLI for Txti.

It's great. I'd like more of a description up front of what it does, but beyond that, I have few complaints.

Is there a sitemap, index, API or other way to discover pages? If not it would be very hard to index or archive.

Is the source for this somewhere?

It is fast. Nice.
