Don’t love the price. I’m a big fan of small once/year pricing which makes it an impulse purchase… to justify this at $8/month I would need to actively be doing something with it
- nonethewiser 4y agoI opened the site and poked around quickly. I thought "Hm... simple. Kinda interesting. I wonder if hackernews comments will evaluate the utility of it." It was not until your comment that I realized it's a paid product. I never would have imagined that.
- philip1209 4y agoOn the checkout page, there is an $80/year option. I just didn't want to complicate the marketing page, but it seems like I should add the optional yearly pricing there.
- greentea22 4y ago$8 a month is ridiculously overpriced.
- flappyeagle 4y agonothing is overpriced if someone is willing to pay
- calculated 4y agoI second this but at the same time the founder has a point. Since the average user can't create a blog with GH Pages or whatever else for free, he'll be willing to pay $8 for this product. The average customer won't be from the tech space and $8 would seem like "oh just $8 and I can have a personal website? easy!" so I'd say keep the price as is.

- Caduceus1 4y agoFor $2 a month i would've signed up, $8 is too much for what is offered, and just not in my budget for something like this.
