#82I 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 didn't even notice that! What a cool idea to be able to test out the site by editing the home page itself

#83Messed with editing the landing page for a bit. I like it, well done. Editing is intuitive, not much of a hassle. Things react & do what I expect they should.
As others have mentioned, definitely add a random mmm link, to see other mmms, or otherwise add a spotlight to show off what people can / have done with it.
Also make it more obvious you can edit the landing page, maybe provide a clickable link in the text that points out that you can edit the page (below the signup button at the top). And then provide a blank canvas page where people can screw around; if they like their mess, they can sign up and save it.

Yes!! Why not, the website as art? As the medium and the message? A network of creative expression? Or as a "diary" where every entry is more scrapbook-y and less uniform blog? Could be fun. We need more fun.
Honestly, because it takes work. I'm not even talking about technical work, but creative work. To do this well, you want to think about your message and then about how to convey that message not just in the content, but in how the content is presented (sometimes geocities-esque chaos isn't quite the right vibe). Then you need to figure out how to fit that presentation into the assumptions of your web technology (I pe…
Work? Or time? Hobbies aren't "work"? Time sucked up by FB or Tw isn't work? If that tool / platform gives me a way to expess myself and I want to express myself, that's not work.

Would be disgusting chaos but also would be cool to let anyone edit the page so it is forever changing -- obviously working out the issues of blocking/hiding texts.
Or social, imagine how much fun it would be to leave stickers/stamps on approved friend's websites.

#86This was fun! I might consider making my personal site in this. I do have a blog, so maybe even a way to export as HTML would be awesome :)
One feature request that would help a lot is instead of uploading an image, providing the image source.

#87It's cool, but whats your main draw over E.gg by Instagram or Universe Web Builder
e.gg never actually launched, right? And the others just don't have the same flare at all...
It's on iOS: https://e.gg. Agree, I do think the vibes of this are a bit better.

Awesome work, I really like what you're doing with this. I created my own personal page and followed each of the steps. However, I can't update the email, Twitter and IG links on each button. Am I missing something, or is this a bug? I'm on desktop using FF.
Those buttons are filler buttons, you have to drag a new button out to customize it (it showed a message about this for me, perhaps the developer updated it since your comment?)
Ah, I must have missed that and deleted the label. Thank you so much for your help.

#89Really awesome tool and just what I was looking for. As someone with a design background, I do miss some tools that I'm used to having - like the eyedropper for example. One thing that would be cool to see in iteration would be responsiveness instead of just showing the mobile cutoff, but overall for a first-pass I think this is a great tool! Nice job.

#90The editable landing page is a great intro to the product, but it would maybe be good to have a big CTA button above the fold that's like "Edit this page". Much more noticeable than the bottom right corner pencil button.
EDIT: though of course your main CTA is to drive signups. That makes sense too. Maybe this is a secondary CTA right under the signup button?
Also the signup button is below the fold on smaller windows, might want to reconsider the size of the text above it (at least on viewports that are <700px tall?)
