You might get more traction if you:
1. have a free tier, completely free if you hoot once a month or something like that, otherwise your subdomain deletes itself.
2. change the pricing from $3 per month or whatever, to like $19.95 per year. I’m not sure if other people feel this way, but in 2023 I’m feeling pretty hostile to subscriptions that want to charge me a few dollars per month (and hike their prices randomly after I’ve bought-in) and prefer to outright purchase things
3. make it better than a static site generator by adding extra features ie optionally let people login with GitHub or Google or whatever and comment on posts
4. connect to own custom domain, pretty straightforward why people might want this, especially if you can get it to automatically renew let’s encrypt https and stuff like that
- MrGilbert 3y agoIt might be more like 29.99, tbh. "Pay yearly and get two months off".
- aetherspawn 3y agoIt’s just that social media is usually free so I’m not sure I’d pay like 30 bucks for this
- MrGilbert 3y agoYeah, we should have never went the free route with social media, but that’s a whole different conversation…
- toyg 3y agoI agree that it would probably work better as freemium, although then the balance act becomes more challenging (since free plans might eat a lot of resources). As good as the copy might be, it's not clear how valuable such a service would actually be to me. Even just a fee trial could persuade me to give it a go, but at the moment the only thing it has done is making me curious about free alternatives.
- prepend 3y ago> since free plans might eat a lot of resources Will they though? It seems like all this runs through some free level GitHub actions.
