Hello! 👋
Today we're launching IO: a free, lightweight editor for creative and authentic publishing. ✍️
It's extremely easy to use and allows you to publish anonymously, under a pseudonym, or as yourself. Our vision is to make writing and sharing your thoughts easier than ever. The editor is a little rough around the edges, so be gentle (many improvements are on the way!). We plan to build on this idea in the coming weeks and months.
This is your blank canvas.
This project (started only a couple weeks ago!) is brought to you by @meanJim, @SirBenLee, and myself – and we have much more to come in the near future! Meanwhile, please do email me at d@bold.io or iMessage me at 949-278-6005 if you have any questions/suggestions or just want to talk product. :-)
Meanwhile, kick the tires at https://bold.io today, bookmark it for later and publish freely any time. 👊

@noxowe Telegraph is cool! I think both have similar goals, we started simple just like Telegraph, but are going in a different direction (I think).
Of course, we also put a lot more emphasis on Twitter (with Twitter auth) and some cool stuff to follow. Watch this space!
@davidbyttow Yeah social integrations could help distinguish, just at first when I launched the app it looked almost the same as Telegraph (at least what I remember from like a month ago when it launched and clicked on it)
Last month @davidbyttow mentioned on Facebook:
This looks much different than Secret but follows a similar mission.
@davidbyttow -- Is IO an experiment for your new startup, Bold, or is this what you've planned from the beginning when you started the new venture?
@rrhoover hey Ryan, I wish I could say this has been part of a master plan, but this is something we decided to do just a couple weeks ago with the technology we had built for Bold.
There's a few more things we have in store over the coming months that build on this idea. Step one was to release the simplest form of our editor possible to the community and get feedback. Excited!
To be clear, this is not what I was referring to in this post, that's coming and this will fit into it. (sorry for being all mysterious, haha)
@davidbyttow no worries. :) I like that you've combined features from similar publishing tools, like Hemingway Editor and Noisli.
Now can you add an AI bot to do all the writing for me? 🙏🏼
This looks absolutely beautiful!
I love how it has ambience settings, a Hemingway editor, Twitter auth. The editor itself is awesome. It's a really great product 👌
Love the idea of anonymous publishing to test my ideas & content before putting a name to it!
Question @davidbyttow - if Medium adds that as a feature, does it change anything?
@seffa121 Exactly! My little brother has been doing this with his friends on IO and loving it. As for Medium, I think it would be difficult to just add this as a feature to a product that is so far entrenched in its own network. That said, I don't think so because we have some cool stuff coming down the pike!
Report
@davidbyttow that's fair. I think the two could compliment each other quite well too (test on IO, publish on Medium?) Can't wait to see what else you have & start using IO :D Thanks for giving us this David!
Hey all, was just reading your feedback and just rolled out a new change: If you add #hidden or #private to your posts, they won't appear in /random or /latest. Enjoy!
