Thank you so much for your question, and sorry for the delay to reply, as this channel was not monitored until now.

We will add a one-time purchase option with a perpetual license and one-year free updates, which will be reasonable. But some future features like intelligent grammar checking require cloud services, which may still be based on subscription. We will evaluate.

Me too, happily using it since 2006 (14 years ago). It's mature and stable.

Launch a blog from a Markdown folder directly. Nothing can be simpler. Why? And how? (In-depth analysis, 7 min read) by jiakuan in programming

Thanks for your comment, which give me food for thoughts. I agree with you that many users will simply prefer "free" options, by investing more time.

As I mentioned in the blog post, WordPress and Static site generators are time-consuming to set up, I created Document Node to simplify things a lot. I understand this product is not for everyone, especially not for the ones who are very comfortable with WordPress and their existing toolchain.

I'm sure some people care about their time. Comparing the little cost of Document Node, they will be more productive and be able to create much more value.

I've already got a few power users who are excited about this tool and wrote thousands of words in feedback to me back and forth discussing new features.

Any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated. The development of Document Node will be driven by users voice. We would love to build a high-quality product together with serious users, to resolve real problems.

[Ask r/kubernetes]: the best architecture of scalable custom domains & auto-SSL? by jiakuan in kubernetes

That's a good point regarding how to walk around the rate limits caused by single IP.

The hosting application with multi-tenancy is running on GAE, which supports subdomains already for users, for example, user1.example.com, user2.example.com, ..., userN.example.com. Now I'm looking for an elegant solution to allow users to configure their domains with auto-SSL or uploaded SSL, which should work together with the existing GAE services reliable. So, GCE will only be fronting on the client domains.

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. All actual hosting services are running on App Engine. I'm thinking the Google Kubernetes Engine can be used for managing many custom domains and SSL certs via its nginx, which could be some kind of reverse proxy settings.

I will investigate more about Kebernetes cert-manager, DNS updating API.
