Would you pay $5 per month for this hosted blog engine?

  I am the creator of this and I am planning to add varnish support within this week to make your blogs HN/reddit resistant. I'd love to know if anyone would be willing to pay for a blogging platform built for hackers/programmers/developers.

    I'd love to hear the reasons if any, It'd help me tremendously, in correcting the course for this app. Thank you.

      There are so many free blog systems, some of which might be regarded as "standard", with reliable hosting histories and a lot of credibility. If you want to create a service that you can charge for, you might: 1. Find a really specific blogging niche for whom existing solutions really cannot work, and as if that weren't difficult enough, you need a low cost way to acquire customers within the niche. or, 2. Do something other than a blog platform. Ditto what I wrote in (1) above, just cross out the word "blogging". My bet is that it will be slightly easier.
