#2Hey HN! Been thinking about something like this for a long time, and finally decided to work on it three months ago. Excited to show everyone today!

———— TLDR ————
I built a website builder (works on desktop & mobile) that makes it easy to create automatically-responsive, collage-like websites -- websites that allow you to overlap text, images, GIFs, YouTube videos, etc. etc.
Check it out @ https://build.mmm.page

———— Nitty Gritty Details ————
* Every page is automatically responsive (a demonstration of how is shown on the homepage).
* Allow text, images, GIFs, shapes, YouTube videos to start (much more planned).
* Everybody gets their own URL/namespace @ mmm.page/USERNAME
* _Actual_ drag and drop! No grid-locking (though there are layout alignment guides).
* Tiny cool thing -- try pinching and zooming on your touchpad (rotate works on Safari too).
.
———— Motivation ————
There seems to be fewer and fewer personal websites -- many of which now look increasingly similar -- and, yet, more people than ever have some Graphic Design Lite experience (a la Snapchat & Instagram), so I figured, it could be interesting to see websites made with a similar style, WYSIWYG composer as Snapchat/IG. (That, and the math to do these layouts manually is always too much hassle for me.)

———— Updates to Come ————
A lot still needs to be done, but wanted to share today to gather some feedback -- hope you find it useful!

awesome work! I love the flow, the simple concept of toolbar+modals for the UI, the premade sensible options. Oh and those menus and icons are very cool, did you use any special frontend framework?
anyway, keep it up! this is great :)

#4I mean honestly, this is pretty good stuff. Nice job!

#5> Websites shouldn't all look the same. We prefer campy, kitschy, messy, imperfect.
I really like the design aesthethic this product encourages. There's so much charm and fun and eccentricity that's lost in a web where full-height responsive image backgrounds and blocky design frameworks are ubiquitous.
If this can help people express just a little bit of the wild creativity of things like early 2000's MySpace layouts or GeoCities pages I'll be a big fan!

Awesome! On trend with the aesthetic.
How did you accomplish the responsiveness with such a flexible layout?

FYI nothing happens after clicking on Chaos Monkey → Proceed. I thought it was because uBO blocks sentry requests, but even when whitelisted, requests are made, but nothing happens.

#8This does feel quite myspace-y, but the burning question would be... is this all just like myspace. e.g. if I leave or spend hours creating something, it is nearly impossible to move it or back it up to something else?

Very cool, interested to see whats behind the editor!

#10First impression is very good. However, it requires signup to actually try / use. I have several websites, but currently have no need for such so I just left again. Probably to never return because I never remember sites that I only visit a few seconds. Would be better to let my try and get me hooked, to get ideas for remodeling one of my existing websites.
