Hey,

Thanks for the feedback.

We're definitely working on giving as much control as possible with the CMS, we'll definitely reach out closer to launch and get your thoughts on whether it's enough.

Re Pricing and Domains: custom domains will be supported, you you can either use a subdomain or use your own custom domain. As for pricing, it will likely be based on page views (or some other measure of size). We're thinking of starting near $20.00 and ranging up to $100 a month.

Does that sound reasonable?

Is that $20/mo per app? I'm assuming if you had your own domain Docker will not be covering the DNS registry and such, effectively making it $30/mo to host a low-traffic app landing page. Honestly, I'm not sure that I would pay that much for my small apps (seeing as these are hobbies).

If it's $20/mo for, say, 5 apps, I'd be much more inclined.

Have you considered anything like a landing page builder that you can host yourself? Just a thought.

Take this all as conjecture. I hope you guys really make a sound product because this has been a serious frustration and pain point for me.

edit: Another feature that would be nice: quotes and links to reviews so you can show off any press or praise that the app has gotten.

Hey,

We'll definitely support multiple apps per 'publisher', I could see charging 20$/month for 5 apps, if they're all small enough - thanks for the thought.

A Custom domain should only cost ~10/year, so it shouldn't add that much overhead?

And finally, yes, we're planning on supporting quotes and reviews, thanks for asking!

Carry on! Really excited for your launch and/or beta.
