What's up with the hate? Dustin's design is excellent. It's on the bleeding edge of easy. We need easy.
Personally I could see a wicked iPad app for his design… you open it in Safari. Very few products would work as well on an iPad from an administration point of view.
I agree with the author of this post. I think Dustin Curtis may have prematurely launched, but I disagree in thinking that's a problem unless his end goal was to build a tumblr.
If his goal was to build a better interface and launch it. He succeeded.

What. The. Hell!?
I absolutely fail to see how Svbtle deserves more attention than the dozens of other blogging platforms built every week (building a blog is probably the most common programming exercice after "Hello world!"). As far as I can tell, his big innovation is to use the word "idea" instead of "draft" so that it doesn't force him into "thinking about ideas as posts, like every other blogging system does". What else is there to it? The interface gets out of the way? http://www.quietwrite.com/ does a pretty good job at this already.
