Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

My daughter is a professional illustrator. I don’t often show her things I learned about on HN, but I just showed her this site and she loves it. She has already signed up and is playing with her new site now.

I love that it fuels creative freedom, but this seems to be proprietary, which means freedom is still restricted.

Consider releasing code under AGPLv3 and styling/pictures GFDLv1.3? (GFDL has very strong attribution requirements: you must keep it as part of the title and include other parts.)

Hey 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 F…

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

Not the creator, but looking at the source - everything is sized using 'rem' units. (Height, width, positioning of all the elements.) Kind of like using a percentage.

    style="height: 0.160992rem; width: 1.00383rem; left: 0.5rem; top: 0.273827rem; ..."
This can be used because `font-size` on the root html tag is set to the width in pixels of the screen - or 600px maximum.

And then font sizes for all the elements are specified individually.

Congrats, it's really great!

A small comment:

- Instagram has recently become much more aggressive in not showing anything to logged out users. Because of this, when you create a button (on your site) linking to an Instagram page, the button name ends up being "Login • Instagram" (that's because you're getting the Open Graph preview of the page you're redirected to, i.e. the login..!)

You could probably have an exception for Instagram and when linking to instagram.com/, force the button name to be @. Not ideal, certainly, but maybe a bit better?

Congrats again and happy launch!

EDIT: I initially didn't see that the mobile viewport /is/ visible when designing on desktop! my bad! I removed my original note
