I built a Markdown and raw HTML blog platform scoring 99 on PageSpeed
Hello. I built a blogging platform on my own over two years.I like running my blog, but I couldn't find a blogging platform I really liked.First. I thought a blog had to be really lightweight. Fortunately, after a lot of effort, I was able to achieve satisfactory results. (99 to 100 score)Here is a sample blog: https://bloffy.bloffy.blog/enYou can check it with PageSpeed Insights: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis?url=https://bloffy.bloffy...SEO score of the sample blog is low because I blocked it from search engine indexing (noindex).Second. I think bloggers should have control over their own blog. The blogging platforms I used had several problems.Unnecessary JavaScript chunks. Ads that the platform inserted into my blog, not my own ads. Cannot manage multiple blogs. An editor that makes it hard to write semantic markup. Limited customization options. I was dissatisfied with the difficulty of placing my own ads.And to solve this, I spent quite a long time researching and developing it on my own, and finally created it. I'm glad to share this launch with HN. I would appreciate any criticism, feedback, and interest.

The problem of bloated, restrictive blogging platforms is clear, and the solution addresses a real gap, but willingness to pay and market size may be limited.
Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
The value proposition is strong for power users wanting control and speed, but the market is niche and monetization unclear.
One-Person Business
Curiosity pull, identity fit, and a path from free value to paid for a solo creator.
The idea solves a genuine pain with a technically solid product, but lacks clear evidence of demand and scalable growth.
Viral Frameworks
Hook strength, shareability, and how cheaply it can be tested.
The product is well-built and addresses user frustrations, though the competitive landscape and user acquisition are challenges.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
The founder shows technical skill and product focus, but the idea may not have broad appeal or clear monetization paths.
Five lenses, one composite. How scoring works

Static QR codes require reprints
Businesses print QR codes that become obsolete with URL changes, forcing costly reprints and wasting resources; no easy way to update without physical replacement.
Marketing & Sales
Automated CRM data cleaning and enrichment
Sales teams waste time with dirty CRM data - duplicate contacts, missing information, and outdated records. Clean data is crucial for effective sales and marketing.

I found a way to turn your competitors' angry customers into your customers. Here's the simple trick
This one is almost too effective to share. Every SaaS has unhappy customers. Those customers go to Reddit and vent publicly. And those complaints are your best sales opportunities. **Here's why this is so powerful:** these people already understand the problem space (no education needed), already have budget allocated (they're paying a competitor), are actively unhappy (ready to switch), and are publicly asking for alternatives. That's the highest-intent prospect you'll ever find. Higher than any ad click. Higher than any cold email response. **The method:** **Step 1:** List your top 5 competitors. **Step 2:** Search Reddit for "\[competitor name\]" alternative OR "\[competitor name\]" issue OR "\[competitor name\]" pricing **Step 3:** You'll find dozens of frustrated users describing exactly what they wish was different. **Step 4:** Write a genuinely helpful comment. Don't trash the competitor that looks petty. Instead, acknowledge their frustration and offer objective alternatives: "I've used \[competitor\] too and had similar issues with X. Depending on what matters most to you, here are 3 alternatives I've tested: \[tool A\] for Y, \[tool B\] for Z, and \[your tool\] if you specifically need W." **The key:** be honest and balanced. Recommend competitors when they're genuinely better for that use case. People trust someone who gives objective advice over someone who only pushes their own product. **My results from last month:** 3 customers in one month (high ticket niche), started this strategy since Jan. 2026 + this will compound over time the more I find posts to comment. The hardest part is finding these conversations across 50+ subreddits consistently. I use AI Reddit tools like Reppit AI to monitor competitor mentions in real-time, which surfaces opportunities I'd never find manually. Try it this week: search your #1 competitor's name + "alternative" on Reddit. I guarantee you'll find warm prospects over time, as these posts already rank on goog
