If I built a 100% free site builder, would any of you use it?

I've been a programmer for over 20 years and I've built a successful business building WordPress eCommerce plugins.

WordPress is slowly on its way out however. So I want to move onto a new platform, and I'm considering starting my own.

My idea:

  • Site builder that is 100% free forever, no paid version at all
  • It would include an easy to use site builder, image uploading, video uploading
  • It would have a contact form builder
  • It would have full eCommerce features, including recurring payments, subscriptions, shipping, and tax features.
  • Unlimited traffic / bandwidth
  • Admin panel similar to WordPress where you can monitor your website

Fees:

  • You would pay for PayPal / Stripe transaction fees like normal and a domain name fee of something like $10 a year
  • I would probably need to include some limits on video / image uploads and offer a free tier for those / paid storage after a certain limit

Before I spend the next 6+ months building something like this, I wanted to ask if any of you would use this or are you happy with the solutions out there already?

[FREE] I built a PayPal & Stripe plugin that includes Subscriptions for WooCommerce. It’s 100% free, no pro version.

I've been building WordPress plugins since 2014 and I've used WooCommerce a lot.

I got really tired of paying $279 per year for the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin, so I built my own plugin. I also really didn't like how buggy WooCommerce's PayPal & Stripe plugins where, so I built those into the plugin as well.

I decided to build this plugin to give back to the open-source community, so it's 100% free. No paid version, no upselling, no collecting emails or anything like that. Support is also free.

It's on the WordPress Repository: Accept PayPal & Stripe with Subscriptions for WooCommerce
