I hate making a new login that I have to remember for things I might not even use. It would be nice if you could create the website first , then only sign up if you liked it and wanted to save it. This stops me from testing cool looking projects like this all the time :( EDIT: that being said, I love that you can edit the landing page itself, that at least gives me some idea of how it works, although then if I turn i…

Hit the edit button, bottom right for a small sample.

Agree on onboarding.

You also have to re-enter your email after you click your email link which was annoying.

But... this is 100% nitpicking. I think they crushed launch at making this appealing.

I found it unusable on Firefox 81 (including with No addons). Clicks don't work at all - seems to work fine on Chromium. I suggest testing on a broader range of browsers. Edit: It's just my version, not an issue with the site.

It's running surprisingly fast on FF 88 for me, just for the record.

I am using Firefox 88 (std, auto update) and it works fine. Most polyfill libraries only support the last 2 major versions on greenfield browsers because they update themselves -- perhaps there is a problem with your auto updater?

> 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.

I can imagine that this product would transition very well into a social network that creatives, artists and such would find very appealing.

The issue on Firefox 81 seems to be a z-index issue with the edit toggle button. Setting it up a 100 fixes it. On Firefox 81 the z-index seems to be calculated to z-index: -2147483648;

Is there a particular reason you are using a 1 year old version of Firefox?

I found it amusing that the 'stroke' tab of the sticker presets gives you a variety of random brush strokes, smudges etc.

It also gives you a single sticker of a brain flashing 'aphasia', which is a literal type of medical stroke that causes brain damage and possibly insensitive on that tab!

Probably - stupid "managed" updates from my organization. Probably should just uninstall the managed version and install the normal version from the web.
