Played around with this a bit and think there are some really cool bits and generally a cool idea. Out of curiosity who is this specifically targeted to / who do you think this product will greatly improve the lives of?

Thanks! We made it for people who want to make pages that aren't easily made in common CMS tools and page builders. It's for posting quick, focused content experiences that can be easily consumed without distraction.

The main page has a lot more information than the link (just do http://broadsheet.io ) - it appears to be a DTP-type service for authoring web pages.

This really should have been the submitted link. The submitted link is almost completely useless for anyone who doesn't already know what Broadsheet is. The real homepage is beautiful and does a pretty good job explaining what it is.

It seems like you are a short jump away from making it a WYSIWYG editing experience. Any reason you went the sort of hybrid markdown approach instead and/or any plans in the future to have direct WYSIWYG editing?

Hi - looks like a great workflow. I tweeted you guys on this, but I thought I'd add it here: would be really neat to see the ability to integrate externally via webhooks. (if this makes sense to do at all)

It is kinda embarrassing for a digital publishing tool for web to have broken justification on their front page so prominently. Both IE11 and Fx35a2 just break words at random places without hyphens, and Chrome 38 won't even try and right aligns the paragraphs.
