You got it right! It's a Static Site Generator with Github Pages integration.
I was previously using WordPress and thought something that runs on my desktop with a pleasant UI could be better. I had some thoughts on how the interface should be and the features that would be cool to have.
Regarding the model, there are addons for purchase within the app (for example, different editors, scheduled AI-assisted blogging, etc). But all are fully optional and will remain that way. There's also a new "book-style" theme that folks can purchase, but the free ones are very professional also. I encourage users to reach out to Support because it's the early feedback phase and the key is to understand what are folks impressions with the product and any features they would really like to have.
So overall, the goal is UX and Developer Experience first, and further on there will be improvements and new offerings based on people's needs. Thank you for your feedback!
Ah ok. So kinda in competition with something like https://cloudcannon.com/
I'll be honest if you want feedback - as a developer I'd prefer a solution that builds on top of an existing open source static site builder. That way us devs can carry on using the tools and deploy options we know but our less technical colleagues who just want to put up a new blog post can use the nice CMS experience.
A tool that requires we switch the entire site building process over to it is a harder sell. Sorry to be negative!
