I was a bit confused by the landing page, I tried to click on the images. Also,for me the blog loads very slow, but could just be HN traffic. I am currently using my own stupidly simple "blogging" platform, which is just a PHP function to render markdown files: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog If I were to switch to your platform, I am a bit confused about: * How editing/publishing of a post works (what is the editor)? * How much traffic it can handle? * Can I use my own domain? * Can I integrate it my existing site? * Does it have good SEO (keywords, meta descriptions, og: images, rich snippet, etc.)? * Can I export the data? * Is the data backed up? * Is there an uptime guarantee? * Is there support provided? * Can you customize the design? * Is it the biggest feature the fact that it has micro-payments integrated? Why would I use this instead of WordPress and a plugin for micro-payments?

Hi There. - The blog loads fine. It is the combined traffic from HN and other platforms that's weighing. But I'm working on load-balancing - Editing and publishing works simple. We use a flexible WYSIWYG editor where you can easily design the posts according to your taste. Publishing works with one click after editing. - Currently It handles lots of traffic from +2000 bloggers around the world (still growing). But I have performed tests for 100,000 and everything still loads fine. - Yes you can use your own domain. To do this, you'll need to upgrade to the Flying Solo Plan (PRO plan) - I haven't built any REST API for external integration. But this is on my to-do list. - Yes it has good SEO keywords. You can add more SEO keywords as you wish. - As at now you cannot export the data. Its part of the version 2.0 plans. - Yes the data is backed up - There is 99% uptime guarantee. - Yes there is support. 24/7 support either via email or phone call. - For now the design cannot be customized. The platform was built to display all blog posts on the landing page and incorporate a simple link mapping. I am also working on building an override where users can edit the main template. - The microsubscription feature is an added feature used by couple of full-time bloggers. I recently integrated it into the platform 2months ago. It is simple to use, offers donation features and more. Please visit microscriptions.com for more information
