I would want to know if my product did not address any demands, especially since they’re charging money. This is not a run-it-yourself Show HN link to a github repo, and honest critique is the whole reason to post here.

Personally, I’m struggling to see the value over any of the many static blog generators out there, considering the recurring(!) cost.

As other comments have noted, you can integrate your (static) blog hosted somewhere else into its platform for free. Other people don't want to mess with setting that up, like having mobile apps, and pay for that extra comfort.

"Micro.blog encourages publishing at your own domain name, where you can control your own content, but it still integrates posts into a familiar timeline user interface, with centralized replies, favorites, and an open API based on JSON Feed and IndieWeb standards."

Static blog generators are different beasts.

If this were Disqus without ads and slowness, I'd give them some money.
