@rahulmfg This is certainly a crowded market, but we still feel like there is room...
One of the hardest parts of building a website with one of these tools is the choice paralysis. First, you need to figure out which tool to use (certainly building another tool doesn't exactly help with this). But then, you need to choose how you use that tool: which template, which font, which colors, which layout, etc. Because the products in this space want to stand out from each other, they are constantly in pursuit of adding more templates, more integrations, more stuff... With Somebody, we want to do the opposite: Offer less stuff. We believe that constraints for a product like this are a massive help to the user... I've written more about this here: https://medium.com/@maxdeutsch/t.... Ultimately, we've built what we believe is the best product that gets users to a published site as soon as possible.

@_maxdeutsch @rahulmfg @maxdeutsch hey nice job on this. I agree there is room to grow, especially with fit and balance between simple and complex. squarespace found a great balance, for example.

@jeffrey_wyman @rahulmfg @maxdeutsch Thanks Jeffrey! Yeah, I'm definitely a fan and user of Squarespace. We are hoping to carve out a slightly different niche though (you can make beautiful stuff on Squarespace, but it takes some time to get right). We are hoping to optimize for speed and storytelling, while maintaining style.
