This is one letter swap from something very popular but completely different…

I moved my blog off Google-hosted Blogger a year or so ago, and the last thing I wanted was another place that would go directions I don't care for and have to migrate off again. Moving blog hosts is a huge pain in everything. I went to self-hoseted/self-rendered Jekyll, with Discourse embedding handling comments, and it's been working fairly well so far. Cloudflare caching covers traffic spikes fairly competently, and if I want to host the content on something else, I literally just have to upload the rendered files. As a bonus, it now works perfectly well without cookies or Javascript. Not perfectly, there are some JS features that improve things, but it should render and be entirely readable, with images, without JS.

  This is one of the reasons i am not implementing a rich text editor and instead i am using Notion as CMS. A lot of individuals and companies are already using Notion and this makes it easier for them to write blog posts with it. I know that for developers like me and you markdown is everything we need but non technical people need something more high level, just the act of embedding an image in markdown is very difficult for them

Looks cool! I'm not a much of a blogger so I'm probably not your target audience, but I've love to see more of an ecosystem around notion. I would say I'm personally aittle dubious of the only two options being free and $50 a month. You might want to consider another price point in there in between. Although I'd do see that you're still in beta so I recognize the prices might not be final anyways.
