Love it and agree it's beautiful, but as a startup, I disagree with the "it's just 1hr dev a month" in cost. Setting up something from GitHub onto Heroku or similar costs me about 2 hours (if that), ever. And if it can be updated without too much of a pain, it's hardly going to take >1hr of dev work to maintain the project (update the docs perhaps...but you'll need to take the time to do that regardless).

I totally also agree with the sentiment that people don't pay what most SaaS apps are worth. We save users 3-6 hours per month and charge $13 for the privilege, but even then people frequently complain about pricing (can't please everyone).

Just my 2c. Love the concept and could see myself using it, but the price point is just too much beyond free, compared to DIYing....but I'm an open source person, so that could just be internal biases.
