Corinthians was pretty clear about not touching another man's scroll wheel.
Jokes aside, this is one of the reasons we plan to add top notch support for both reader mode and clients that browse without JS enabled.
I also own a b2b publisher and would love to use this but we’d be looking at 5 stories a month, not 5 stories a year.
I work with a corporate client developing specialist learning content. They would love this sort of thing, but unless I’m reading your pricing wrong then $4.2k a year for just five pieces of content max is insane pricing.

I don't want to be negative because launching a thing you believe in is always a good moment, so congratulations for that. Maybe it's just that the landing page and demos don't show where the value is, but I don't see how this is a business, let alone a 350/mo one, and not just a framework.
If $350/month seems like too much money, the product isn't for you. If it seems like a bargain, it is. To be a business, you have to stay in business. 100 customers at $350/month probably allows that. 7000 at $5/month probably doesn't because it requires 70x conversions, 70x retentions, and 70x the customer service (at least) -- and of course $5/month is trying to compete with free.
"If it's good for you, that's good. If it's bad to you, it's not for you."
Brilliant.
But I have no idea how it performs on different devices and browsers.
A text heavy page with background images moving around (like the demo pages) is a bad experience and does not highlight your strengths.
Congratulations on shipping !

Wow. You can just pack that comment up and use it anywhere, huh? "If it's good for you, that's good. If it's bad to you, it's not for you." Brilliant.
I can’t afford a Ferrari because Ferrari’s are not for me. The Ferrari salesperson isn’t going to feel bad about that and shouldn’t.
And the best thing you can take away is focus on selling products to people with money to spend and a willingness to spend it…if you are running a business of course.

Only if you're religious about it - something I know many in the HN crowd are! Jokes aside, this is one of the reasons we plan to add top notch support for both reader mode and clients that browse without JS enabled.
This looks cool for product demos. Lots of images very little high contrast text. A text heavy page with background images moving around (like the demo pages) is a bad experience and does not highlight your strengths. Congratulations on shipping !
We really appreciate the feedback and have updated the demos with increased text shadow to, hopefully, improve the legibility. We're also working on creating more compelling demos, such as explorable spaces, maps, interactive 3D models, etc. that might better highlight our strengths.
