I just signed up and I LOVE the super clean UI! Just beautiful! I'm missing your stance on the privacy topic, because I think it is the one topic/feature that drives people away from other networks. What's your business model? I hope it's not ads/tracking like nearly all others.
Just want to echo what the others have said here. I love the interface and the general feel of the site.
But I would also like to know what you stance on privacy is, as @atmos had mentioned. It's an increasingly defining factor that people use as a measure for platform adoption.

Glad to hear! 😀 On privacy:
- No trackers (working to keep our uBlock block count to zero as it is now)
- We won't sell your data
- I'd like to not do ads, if we had to they'd be contextual, and privacy respecting, not tracking based
(Continued...)
Working on a paid acct which would give extra features (stats on your Drops, more blog features, custom domain, etc)
I want to make sure Glue always has a free option to ensure everyone can use it, regardless of their economic position
I'll put out a blog post to outline privacy in more detail too
Beautiful! This is really good to hear and having paid accounts (fair pricing please :)) is smart, hopefully they could help cover some/all costs?
Happy to test with a custom domain. I had to cancel my ghost.io account because I could not do long form posts consistently to justify the expense.
