- lnenad 3y agolol, what does this even mean as an argument? The software is free yes but he's not selling software he's selling SaaS.
- lolinder 3y agoMost of the people who are interested in WordPress or Ghost don't already have a server. This is the classic HN Dropbox reaction. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 > you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem
- withinboredom 3y agoI wouldn't say it is quite that extreme. Though you do make a fair point. (I was thinking about businesses, who usually have at least one server, somewhere.)
- lolinder 3y agoNo, you're right, it's not that extreme. I wrote the comparison before going back and actually finding the quote, and the quote was much worse (better?) than I remembered!
