Many niche topics I have an interest in are still better represented by standalone forums, I have found.

... in ways that are not accessible to the everyday person.

I'd say that honest, thorough and helpful articles like this as a function of marketing lead to word-of-mouth, organic growth.

At least you could do it over chat. WSJ requires you to call with long hold times. The only reason, of course, is to make it as difficult as possible and ensure they read you all of the "are you sure?" scripts.

I would love to subscribe to the WSJ, but I cannot justify the cost at the moment.

Here is a free workaround for many periodicals. Get a library card. Access ProQuest through the library's website and find the RSS feed for the newspapers you like. Plug it into an RSS reader and get a daily feed of all news stories.

It is not as good as a digital subscription. No images or interactive features. But it is pretty good for $0.

Similarly, most popular magazines are available with a library card through apps like Libby.

Curios about the targeted market, as well. Is the focus simplicity or privacy. The site says it is for developers ... why?

Focusing on privacy will likely require simplicity. Narrowing the focus may actually be a better marketing option.

I enjoy listening to your podcast: http://www.britstrapped.com

Though, if I listen for too long the voice in my head begins speaking in a British accent!

Congrats on getting to full time.

Unrelated, but I really like the background/font color contrast on the site. Makes for very easy reading to my eye.
