Service business homepages are too wordy and fail to convert visitors
Plumbers, HVAC, and similar local businesses use generic homepage templates full of long paragraphs about the company history ('family owned since day one', 'committed to excellence'). Visitors scan for quick proof the business solves their immediate problem (e.g. 'same day callout', 'free quote before work') and bounce instead. The copy talks about the business instead of the visitor's pain.

Founders fail to describe products in the exact words frustrated customers use
Founders pitch their product using their own language instead of how a frustrated customer would describe the problem. This leads to poor homepage copy, weak sales calls, and no one understanding the value. They need to hear the raw customer phrasing to communicate effectively.

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.
