What does it look like?

Seems absurd to advertise a product you can't see until you sign up.

And where is the repo?

Hey, this looks fantastic! I really appreciate minimal software that does what it sets out do well without bloat. I noticed that your GitHub README states "Collect Emails: Create your simple mailing list". It just so happens that I just released a tool for completing the next piece in the puzzle by taking those email addresses and automatically sending a notification of your new articles to them in a newsletter (assuming Nucelo supports RSS). Check it out at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40898313 if you think it can be of help to you.

Looks polished, but it would be great if there were some screenshots of the actual features, like the editor, etc. Also, if there are ready instructions on self-hosting or even a container, it would be better.

Could you compare and contrast to BearBlog and Mataroa? Also does the paid plan include some specific capacity for image hosting?

Added to my list[0] it’s incredible how many blogging alternatives there are out there

You’d think there are enough and yet new ones keep popping up. Well done shipping Nucelo though. Love the design.

Regarding Pro pricing should the annual subscription be more than 12x monthly price? I.e $4/month vs $40/year
