I agree that weebly is slowly burning, but it doesn't feel like the right choice to move from one closed vendor who's on maintenance mode to another that's new and might fail.

I have a friend who built a business on the Weebly app store. Haven't caught up with him in a while, but last I talked he was looking to make the jump to another platform. That was years ago.

This has been a long time coming.

Not sure I would migrate a Weebly site as-is. One that I set up years ago (in a free plan) no longer functions:

- very very slow to load

- none of the images load at all

> In April of 2018 Weebly was acquired by Square. As a payments processing company Square was focused on Weebly’s ecommerce functionality

Weebly is a web host of some kind I guess

A website builder from an early era of YC, to be precise: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/weebly

Man I feel old because they were a competitor of where I worked at the time...
