hard to tell what Broadsheet is and why anybody should sign up . Perhaps, a couple sentence summary might help?

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
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. For a more technical read about how it works, check this out: http://xoxco.broadsheet.io/how_broadsheet_Works
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?
WYSIWYG editors hide too much of the important information from the user. We want designers and developers to be able to see the real code and content so they aren't dealing with mysterious hidden complexity.

#13Good work on this! Cool app and very easy to use, can definitely see it spreading. I think it would be awesome if you added video support since your landing page has a video and it's very popular to use background video these days. Also, dog-fooding and making building your own landing page in broadsheet seems doable and cool.

#14The 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.
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.
Thanks for pointing that out. This has been fixed. You are making a positive impact! :)

#15Cool, but: I dont want to be the product. Give me a price or FOSS it - otherwise GTFO.
Re: Broadsheet: Create Stylish Immersive Pages
#16Great product idea! Is the aim to focus on individual pages, or will there be a seamless way to integrate your Broadsheets?
Re: Broadsheet: Create Stylish Immersive Pages
#17Yeah, it's not exactly clear what it does.

Thanks! We actually did build the current landing page _in_ Broadsheet. The background video is just an animated GIF!
Addding background video support for other formats is on the road map!

Everything you create in Broadsheet is yours! There's an export option that will create a .ZIP file containing the raw HTML, CSS and images without any link back to Broadsheet itself.

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.
Ok, we changed the url to that from http://app.broadsheet.io/#/home.
