Can someone explain this to us 35+ year olds? What am I missing?
It let's you create a simple web site without writing any HTML. You just provide a folder of files (text, photos) and choose a template, and it'll turn that into a web site for you.

#1121. Old solution becomes new again 2. Folks clamor that we actually had things right the first time 3. Hype dies down 4. Blog posts complain that the solution "just doesn't scale" and that the complete opposite approach (or some hybrid) is better 5. GOTO 1

Points 2 and 3

Fair point – I have just added: https://blot.im/pricing
Some people are pointing out that they found it easy to read your pricing before you added this site. I’d like to offer a different perspective. So many tech products and startups lack this sort of easy to find clarity. Many times in my professional life we’ve dismissed products we might have bought if they had a pricing page as clear as yours. Not so much because they necessarily did anything wrong, but because we r…

Devjab's comment was both relevant and informative. Yours was neither.
