mindrun··on You probably don't need iframes for external content
I think that's exactly the problem I was trying to pass: I don't want to use JS to modify the content of an iframe that's embedded in my site. Why? Because it's dirty.

The advantage of using the 'all' property is that big companies like Twitter or Google could simply provide us with a CSS stylesheet that formats a specific HTML to look like a tweet. Then we (as developers) would be able to manage the download of the tweet server-side. This will lead to the fact that the client has to make much less requests to third-party servers -> faster site.

I may have struggled a bit with formulating my idea behind this whole scenario. I will try to do that better in the future... :)

mindrun··on Ask HN: Are you writing a journal?
Thanks for those suggestions! For hackers (who also mostly write on their pc) this could be a way to journal. But for the most people, that's not really an option.

I also think in the longer term, that's not the right way to accomplish this - because it's not really made for journaling and thus also too complicated, in my opinion.

mindrun··on Ask HN: Are you writing a journal?
Yep, that's the app I was using before I figured out that it doesn't encrypt my entries. Also it doesn't have a web-view, right?

I thought it might be great if I would build a great-looking web-application which also has a well-documented API (you can't say that of any great journaling app out there).

I think especially for people who are traveling 'round the world - and don't keep devices like an iPhone, an MacBook, etc. with them - it would be perfect (many of them are still using Internet Cafés).

But of course, the most people are writing on their own devices. For them, we could write some native apps later.

Another tiny question: Would you pay for a service like that? I mean a few dollars /month. In my opinion, there's currently no complete service out there, which focusses only on journaling.

Okay, maybe a few poor-designed and -developed ones.
