@noahkagan Definitely, a fan of this. HuffPost has been doing stuff like this for awhile, quite a useful idea. Honestly, the Wordpress plugin is a great starting point but Ill have to support everyone else in that I WANT it for other things. By which I mean, simple HTML sites, landing pages and product pages. If you can package this in a light weight JS plugin or even a script include, I would pay for it. In that case, since you are already charging me for subscription pricing ( theoretically) then serving it off a CDN would be mighty nice of you. :) Its a smidge pricey. If I saw the magic, I might be more inclined. A short free trial might be cool. Also, the lack of developer licensing would make many freelancers hesitate. I think this would be great to recommend to customers but its generally tough to upsell a customer on a function like a plugin. Just sayin'

+1 to other platforms. I'd want tumblr or koken.me It's clever that you use unique visitors as the pricing wall. If the tool does its job, it'll move itself up to more expensive tiers :) But if it's a business blog, your interests are aligned with your customers there, and having no free version keeps that true. That said, I'd like a free version to use before signing up. Also, it'd be fun to warn people when they suggest contrived "upworthy-style" headlines like "I made this Headline tool for a blog post and YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT"

@staringispolite - there's a fix for that: Downworthy h/t @joewalnes

Haha @rrhoover I've actually seen (and enjoyed) Downworthy, but it only effect my local copies of pages. Clearly @noahkagan should acquire or license Downworthy's technology to help fight the problem at the source :)
