“It is only allowed to remove the attribution if you are subscribed to one of the pro plans.” - how do you plan to enforce this in an MIT licensed library?
Very sad to see this (technically excellent) library pull this move.
With this "move" we are trying to ensure the further development of the library. We can't work voluntarily forever and we think that this is a good next step.
I wonder how many of these answers are real and how many is something people want/value but don't actually do in reality. But then again, a fake story from one person that makes two people change in a good direction is better than truth, no?
pbjorklund asked a good question. Do you have good answers to what makes you different from SquareSpace, Weebly, Wix, etc? And why people should give their money to you instead of them? Because, while your landing page is clean and informative, your branding doesn't inspire me to believe you're special. If I were you, I'd leverage my small, scrappy status to show users I can give them something that the big players in the site-builder market can't.
Also: cool that you designed the landing page using SimplyBuilt! I would advertise that.
