I did not mean to give you a Kudo. I don't care for that button interface. Unless I can undo it, then I like it.
Same here - I went looking because of your comment and then accidentally kudo'd it.
Nothing so intriguing about it, really.
Edit: Also, the sign up page itself has a confusing user interface.
Open for everyone My first question is: "who is this for?" The interface, and experience look great. But who needs this? Who is pulling out their hair looking for a new hosted publishing platform that they don't control? Maybe this is a "hair-on-fire" (Patio11) problem for some folks - but I couldn't tell from the blog post. I think this is a mistake a lot of us make when we're marketing, writing about our products:…
I assume that the initial product was built around the "seasoned and experienced authors" who initially populated the site. And the founder, Dustin Curtis.
It seems that this was built for a very small group of people. But like many products that start out with a small number of people who love it... this could also be appreciated and used by others.
I am not a serious writer, but I hate writing in square spaces ui because its distracting. I might not have been able to articulate this because I'm not a serious writer - But in hind sight I realize that I usually write in word and then paste into squarespace. Svbtle eliminates this process - it makes writing simpler.

Svbtle’s dashboard is designed to work the same way your brain works.

This isn't the type of marketing copy that makes me want to use the product, and in-fact drives me away from it. Contrast with Medium's more neutral, objective copy: h…

That's an interesting UX decision since I'm pretty sure you could undo Kudos on the previous version of Svbtle years ago. Are non-undoable likes the logical progression to the likes-only-no-dislikes method of social media validation?
Now I use Medium and I have no interest in it — and most people I know (who blog) do the same these days.
