Absolutely. We seek to solve the problems we see in the world through technology.

I feel your message would be more honest if you went for an approach like WordPress did: with an open-source tool. You make money by providing a hosting platform for the less technically inclined.

And think about it. Wordpress actually did revolutionize publishing.

What's wrong with making money by providing a service to someone happy to pay for it?
Nothing, but calling it a movement aimed to fix broken publishing when it's just another walled garden that will disappear at the first buyout offer is disingenuous.

To clarify a bit: I am annoyed not by what the product is, but by the way it's marketed.

The editor produces vanilla html/css that can be transfered and hosted anywhere.

And I'm glad that you think its worth buying but we're not for sale.

what do you mean by honest?
