Absolutely. We seek to solve the problems we see in the world through technology.

I feel your message would be more honest if you went for an approach like WordPress did: with an open-source tool. You make money by providing a hosting platform for the less technically inclined.

What's wrong with making money by providing a service to someone happy to pay for it?


Nothing, but calling it a movement aimed to fix broken publishing when it's just another walled garden that will disappear at the first buyout offer is disingenuous.

To clarify a bit: I am annoyed not by what the product is, but by the way it's marketed.

And I'm glad that you think its worth buying but we're not for sale.


what do you mean by honest?
