Post to thought streams inbox from email.
Enables posting from phone or tablet without writing a custom client. Easy ubiquitous capture.
These thoughts have been posted from an iPad 4 using drafts to compose them.
Originally I sat down to write an iOS app. The thoughtstreams API currently only supports post to inbox. Eventually I realized the differentiator would have to be a killer text editor. About the same time I discovered Drafts. It's a pretty killer text editor.
It supports markdown and email and Dropbox and printing and so on and so forth.
I didn't think I could really do better so I decided to figure out the easiest way to post to thoughtstreams from Drafts. Eventually I realized it'd be a good excuse to use my free mailgun account.
You can configure email actions in Drafts so you can send thoughts with only a couple of taps.
or individually revocable inbox post URL. Thoughtmail might circumvent this by storing your apikey in the email address strongly encrypted.
not sure how to handle images without hosting outside of thoughtstreams.
would like auto linking of urls in addition to markdown syntax. [will prototype in Thoughtmail]
skip inbox and post directly to streams. Thoughtmail could use a list of stream names in the subject. Drafts lets you configure it's email sending to have a preset subject so you can add email actions for specific streams.
some mechanism for publishing a card from the API.
