Excellent effort on the product! I had the similar idea for a long time as well, and I use Evernote to do all my blogging, then built a custom process to pull content from Evernote and create a static website using Jekyll. And I wouldn't use another platform just for blogging, the whole reason for me using Evernote is that all my notes are inside of Evernote and it's a perfect single place of truth for everything.
People are very determined and cooperative. My parents are in China, basically after 2,3 days since it began it’s all over the news and people got serious about it. My hometown, which is a small city in southern China, people are very cooperative and literally do not go outside as soon as the news broke out. I was also chatting with my parents daily as well to ensure they were at home. I wouldn’t trust the numbers completely as well but I think at least the curve makes sense.
