drusenko was the first speaker during my YC batch. He had one of the more profound startup slides I've seen: an exponential growth curve with minor "blips" that correlated to tech crunch articles, but never affected Weebly's trajectory. I didn't necessarily "get it" at first, but after 2 years of watching startups of my batch mates and friends succeed or fail, I see any focus on press as a negative signal. A good team builds a good product. A good product begets success. Success begets news coverage. These things don't work in reverse. And Weebly is a great product. A few years ago after coding a web app for a non-profit, I considered building a service to do that for small orgs. But then I chanced upon 1 year old weebly, and was like never mind. Anyway, congrats, and hope to see even more!
