Really cool! A useful feature would be to detect whether a document is Markdown or not. I tried sharing some Go source files and they look funny because it tries to convert them to markdown.

That's basically a way to write something then share it with others?

Well, yes, it allows for that :)

The main idea was just to build a hashify.me "clone" that didn't require JavaScript to be enabled in the browser. I knew this would be easy to code in Go and indeed it was: just a matter of putting a couple of libraries together.

The storage features are more to avoid having to use URL shorteners to save the content. But with these features, it becomes more of a Markdown pastebin than anything else...
