Looks cool, but don't things like WordPress already make this easy?

  Setting up a whole wordpress is actually quite hard for the average person. Not to mention they need to also first pay and get web hosting.

    Based on context, I'd assume GP was referring to Wordpress.com, which requires none of that...

      My goal is that Postcard can get your site published in 2-3 minutes with nice design. Wordpress isn't built for personal sites. Too many themes, too hard to set up, too much overhead. I think most people that want a personal site are not motivated to figure out the whole process of finding a template, designing the pages, configuring all the content sections, etc. Plus, Wordpress doesn't have an easy mailing list tool built-in.

        WordPress is absolutely made for personal websites. Its origin is quite literally blogging. There's plenty of turnkey mailing list plugins for WordPress, from Jetpack to using SendGrid, or MailChimp, all of which have free plans.
