Congrats on the launch! It takes courage to build something and share it publicly.
Some feedback:
1. Let me build a blog post and let me see what it would look like before asking me to sign up.
2. Landing page is very technical. Most bloggers won't understand it.
3. From the landing page, it is unclear how your platform differs from your competitors.
4. You mention accessibility but your gif moves at the speed of a Tik Tok video. I personally find it jarring (maybe I'm old). Users with motion sensitivity will feel worse.
5. Sample page has leaked css. https://bloffy.bloffy.blog/en

Thank you so much. This is my first time sharing my product on Hacker News, and every bit of attention like this makes me really happy.
1. You're right. I actually considered it, but I thought a demo would make the landing page quite heavy. Your comment gave me the idea of making a separate page where you can try a demo. Great suggestion, thank you.
2. Thanks. This was actually intentional. As a first target, I'd like Bloffy to appeal to developers who care a lot about SEO. Bloffy is also a bit different from typical blog products built to be easy for everyone. The goal is for it to grow, over time, into a blog customized to you. The first target is developers, but going further, SEO professionals who can handle HTML, CSS, and basic JS could be a target too.
3. You're right. I'll make the differences clearer on the landing page, and I'm also planning to write a separate post about how Bloffy differs from other blogging platforms.
4. I think you mean the demo video on the landing page? The pace does feel a bit fast. I was trying to keep it under a minute. I'll take that into account. Thanks!

Oops, you're right. The CSS was showing up as-is in the summary of the first post on the list page. I've edited the post. Thanks!
