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.

# Thoughtstreams API thoughts

* accepting and storing the API key makes me uncomfortable. 
  * individually revoke able API keys 
  * or oauth1
  * 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.
* editing cards from the API. 
 Thoughtmail could reply to posts with a special reply-to header that edits the previously created card.
