Paste to publish
Press Cmd/Ctrl+V on the home page and your clipboard becomes a real blog post, with its own URL, in under a second. A photo, a screenshot, an article URL, a YouTube link, a paragraph of text: paste it, get a page. You can also drag-and-drop a file from your desktop. No uploader, no setup, no account between paste and a live URL.
No sign-up between paste and a live URL

What "paste" can be
- A paragraph of text: becomes a written post.
- An article URL: unfurls into a preview card.
- A YouTube link: becomes an embedded video.
- An image: becomes a single-image post.
How it works
- Hit Cmd/Ctrl+V on this page.
- Textpad creates a new blog at /b/<your-blog> with your paste as the first post.
- You land on the post, ready to edit, add more, or share.
- When you're ready, claim the blog with an account so it's tied to you.
Why this beats every other "quick blog" flow
Most platforms ask you to sign up, pick a theme, name a site, write a bio, then maybe write a post. Textpad inverts the order: write first, decide everything else later. The fastest path from thought to URL.
