I would rather pay $79 USD a month for this than what I get with leadpages that I mostly use for easy editing/creation. One click editing was awesome right on the homepage. Love this and can imagine using it for a number of quick things. If I were leadpages or a similar company I'd buy this outright right now before y'all build up your own community and the price reflects that. If you're thinking of a model I'd sugge…
Uh... wow.
I miss a 'Jump to random mmm.page'. No time or creativity to add something myself, but I'd like to get a few impressions on the jumbly messy things that are being made..
Looks great, but little bug on my system (Firefox 87 for Android 11), scroll does not work.. But on my computer, it sure looks good, will recommend to my less tech-savy friends!
Wordpress has moved in this direction with Gutenberg (where you can add 'blocks' inside the element for things like columns, tables, images, iframes. Full Site Editing has been "coming soon" for a while however.
But even so, Wordpress (or Wix or Squarespace) isn't offering the "Clippy meets PowerPoint" level of drag and drop that can result in fun sites. For example, rotating an element so it appears a little off-centre and askew isn't supported out of the box in WP Gutenberg. You have to be able to edit your CSS file to do this. Whereas in PowerPoint, you can rotate and scale elements easily.

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…
We all have to do some version of this in PowerPoint for school or for our jobs. We can go nuts with PPT transitions and animations, but we usually don't.
This is the same principle. You can use it to make a nice Squarespace like site, or go full lo-fi punk rock zine if you want. IMO that's what computers promised in the '80s and later with desktop publishing software. It's been missing from the web for far too long.
> 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…
Is there a way to ...see this design aesthetic outside their main page?

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…
So I think this is an excellent point. I'd love to do something like that for my product as well. However, there are a few considerations, some of bigger consequence than others: - How do you keep users from losing their data when they leave and come back? Cookies with an ID are a brittle solution. You could have a unique link, where the user's work is saved right up until they want to register - How do you deal with…
The email gate sounds good (except don't generate a password that will then be visible in plain text, generate a one-time login that can't be reused after a certain amount of time and give the user the option to set a password later if they want one); sites could expire after a bit and a real account (where the site doesn't expire) could only be created if/when the user chooses to create a password and you can't save or use features that could trigger emails until you've verified your email or something.

1. As long as their on the same device/browser, they lose zero data. This is a pretty reliable happy-path use case.
2. The only onslaught you'll deal with is simple pageviews since everything in the trial is stored client side, which also makes #3 no problem.
