Bloffy - Markdown and HTML blog platform with 99 PageSpeed
Show HN: I built a Markdown and raw HTML blog platform scoring 99 on PageSpeed
Bloffy is a blog platform that gives you full control over your writing and your readers' experience. Write in Markdown, raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a split-view editor, then publish on your own domain. It adds only a 3.2KB script to each page, letting you choose your own ads and analytics. With built-in themes, custom CSS, multilingual support, and edge caching, Bloffy delivers near-perfect PageSpeed scores. No cookies, no stored IPs, and no third-party data sharing mean no cookie banners. Ideal for writers and developers who want a fast, private, and customizable blog without the upkeep of self-hosting.
Bloffy is designed so that Markdown, HTML, CSS and JavaScript let you express exactly the semantics you intend.

Congrats on the launch! It takes courage to build something and share it publicly.
Some feedback:
1. Let me build a blog post and let me see what it would look like before asking me to sign up.
2. Landing page is very technical. Most bloggers won't understand it.
3. From the landing page, it is unclear how your platform differs from your competitors.
4. You mention accessibility but your gif moves at the speed of a Tik Tok video. I personally find it jarring (maybe I'm old). Users with motion sensitivity will feel worse.
5. Sample page has leaked css. https://bloffy.bloffy.blog/en

The email I got for the confirmation step was entirely in Korean, just fyi.
I shared bloffy with a few people I volunteer with, since we contribute to a side-by-side markdown/css editor with a live preview as well (though not for blogging).
I think you should make clear that the "Translation" option, to create additional pages for translations, doesn't actually do the translation for you. It just creates a subpage for a translation.
One annoying thing I'm finding is that iOS/MacOS autocorrects `bloffy` into `bloody` at every chance it gets.

There's currently a bug that breaks sign-up on every language version of the site except English. If you'd like to sign up now, please use the English sign-up page and keep the site in English until you're done:

I'm fixing this right now.
