Yeah I asked because I was sort of hoping for a simple answer free of irony and trolling. Deflecting and avoiding the question, especially as their comment I initially replied to wasn't in the same tone, is disheartening.

I'm sorry. Sometimes I don't know how to relate to people who are very serious about the topic at hand. I'm sorry - you asked the question earnestly and I disappointed.

So we are glitchyowl and kickscondor - this is a collaboration between us - an attempt to make 'blogging' more expressive and visual, possibly to break a piece off and reboot it, now that it's fallen out of fashion. The Web seems to have converged on a color called 'gwalb' - gray with a little blue. We've gone from home pages - which users could dump endless animated gifs and marquees on to - to giving everyone a rou…

If i have to zoom in on mobile I just move along.

That's fair enough, I'm in agreement. I think what I should have communicated (as dentemple did) is that the benefits outweigh the consequences.

Absolutely agree with you as well. I do think it’s “dangerous” - or perhaps it’s better to just call it a “tradeoff” - because you give people greater power over the design of the site. But obviously a tradeoff we’re all willing to make.

This comes down to the fact that learning design, UI, and UX is far harder than learning to code. And that nobody who uses a tool cares how good or bad the code is if it works okay.

Whenever I have looked into learning the design side, I've found it far more difficult to find a good set of resources to go by.

I probably didn't look hard enough

You could still answer my question directly. Every other response you've given to comments in this thread lacks the irony and deference you've given me.

Oh shoot - I missed this comment. There is a sign-up form on the home page: https://multiverse.plus/ Just under the image of the PC.

Ok, this worked. Really enjoy the site so far. I expect to be a medium+ term visitor. Feature recommendation (that you didn't ask for): Allow users to embed blocks on their own sites.

You can do this! If you look at the source code for the landing page, there is a way to embed a post and specify a size for it as well.

A product that pays so little attention to mobile won’t find much success in 2021. The homepage is almost unreadable on an iPhone.

What if… it wasn’t built for “success” ? Plus it looks like a project, not a product, which I really like.

You are "disheartened" by not having it explicitly stated that there are no twins named "Cody" and "Jody" working for Facebook Labs saying things like "So basically imagine one day being able to buy Kicks Condor from Facebook and be him in your world." and that they like Segway electric shoes? Claiming to use VR to interact with personalities they're inventing? Saying they "pull a lot from the amateur cigar-smoking community"?
