Personally I much prefer websites that don't use up that much bandwidth.

Let's take https://asset.mmm.page/77/a05aa5533e4f3a97080c63f9b70189/04-.... 4,748,611 bytes, 2602x4336 pixels, actually rendered at a ~150x250px size. Do you really need to ship that many pixels?

I hope more people pay attention to reducing bloat than looking campy, kitschy, messy, imperfect.

I wish the "edit" button was more visible. I noticed it only on my second visit. After I found it, I enjoyed playing with the page and the first hand experience a lot more than reading about it. During my first visit I wasn't impressed but now the product looks cool to me.

I was about to say the same. Make it bigger. Make it pulse. Mention high up in the text.... Or something. I scanned through the page and was annoyed there didn't seem to be a way of testing it without signing up and was about to leave when I spotted the edit button.

The flexible WYSIWYG editing is top-notch! I’m sure you’ll get a thousand feedback ideas, but... if a next goal was to get folks to make it an expression/view of themselves, it would be good to help them connect content that they are already making back into their page. Being able to drop in a API feed of their tweets, blog posts or videos — and then applying some of your kitschy formatting to it — might bring back even more of that MySpace feel...

> 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 layout…

I think now that many live in a youtube/twitter/twitch/facebook/insta sandbox where you can't customize your "space" very much, those days of people crafting their own corner of the internet is really gone.

Very nice but don't really understand "Every page is mindlessly responsive so they work across screen sizes". Doesn't seem to do anything to make it responsive unless I misunderstand something (just tried to resize the window and anything not in the narrow column in the middle ended up outside the screen).

I would like to add "breakpoints" and make adjustments just for the screen size I'm currently viewing it in.
