I think google has just profiled you (and me, and everyone else on HN)... We go on web-dev related and business start up websites, and google is watching us.
These are not Google ads, but the creator sponsorships
I don't want this to be intended as harsh criticism of your idea, but let me share my experience with website builders: - The market is extremely tough. Maybe you noticed how much advertisment squarespace and Wix do. The reason being that these pages typically have small businesses as customers. The issue with these type of businesses is that they go away quickly. Most don't survive 6 months. So you need new customer…

if the page builder is able to export to something like Gatsby or Hugo templates, then that eases the fear of lockin
Templates? If it's just one page, just download the HTML.
Why use them, when you can use plain html ?
Well, its because they come with nice features like componentized layouts and templates, optimized build (including minification of any js, etc) and most importantly content in markdown/yaml for easy editing.
Cool site. If it'll go down anything like my own you'll get 30'000 views and like 3 buys, but no recurring revenue. You may be interested to read my experience: http://code.krister.ee/mybest-project-so-far-shutting-it-dow... Don't think twice about contacting me :)

I've been looking at something like this to host a landing page for a book I wrote years ago. Great work, I'll give it a try.

This is actually perfect. Needed a super quick landing page creator and you nailed it. If you're going to make changes then recommend you develop an API for page creation, perhaps a Zapier integration. Otherwise good on you!
You should let the user go through the entire process of creating the page before you ask for money. Then they have the extra desire of wanting their finished thing. (I started building a site and put in a form, only to be told that was a paid thing. Closed the whole thing and immediately came to write this.)
I would far rather see what I CAN'T do up front so that I can decide whether that feature is really worth $$$ to me, or whether I can work around it somehow.
