So, reading between the lines, it's a desktop app that makes a static website and it then checks the build output (not the source with a build command) into a GitHub repository for hosting?

Is it your own static website builder or did you consider using an existing one?

What type of model are you going for here? I can't see anything about pricing, but I see text encouraging users to "reach out to support".

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!
