Also just for connecting with people in your niche. Potential clients, cofounders, competitors and so on.

I find it useful to both find people directly to reach out to and also to keep up to date on what people in my target audiences are talking about.

I found it extremely intuitive as a non-designer. If you’ve ever tried Figma it’s similar but allows you to go straight to the web instead of having the additional step of hiring a web developer to actually build your designs.

YMMV, but it’s free to use on their basic plan so I’d recommend just trying it out for yourself and seeing how you like it vs. say WordPress and others.

The traffic it gets is extremely high though and heavily targeted towards tech/maker types, which is ideal if that’s your target audience.
