mmm (www upside down) is super fun, useful, and finely crafted with a suitably peculiar community around it. Recommended.

Simple and straightforward editing. The editor even uses sounds to indicate when you've applied your changes.

Using a WYSIWYG editor is really useful for people who want to create content, not create an app.

Oy. Author of this. Surprised to see this here. If you’re curious, recently launched beta [1] and also wrote up a “why” to the project [2].

Also: a StumbleUpon-like explore experience of pages created using mmm.page [3].

Just wanted to say mmm.page has been such a big inspiration for me and your design taste is impeccable -- in case it hasn't been said enough already!

Vienna Hypertext fits exactly this niche: https://vienna.earth/

You absolutely lost me personally with "raises 2.5 million in capital"

History tells me to never trust anything this well funded for something likely to be so personal. Perhaps theres a business case and good luck, but I'll be avoiding.

Thanks for sharing original link — had not seen that project before. I’ll refrain from commenting on their funding, but fyi is mmm.page is wholly bootstrapped (which has left a healthy dent in my savings over the past three years haha).

So if you enjoy the project, or want to support some of the researchy aspects of it, please consider upgrading!

I have another article in the works about the importance of independent funding models and slow growth incentives w/r/t organic social networks, and projects that necessarily require slow exploration as a community (not, in contrast, “spaces designed by committee”).

Thank you! Curious — how did you find out about mmm initially?
