This one reason I don't read blog articles in an RSS feed. I aggregate them with one, but follow links to the blog owner's site so that I'm reading their content as they designed it .
I really like what ReadyMag http://readymag.com is proposing in this area.
Edit Room inspired? Be honest... http://www.edit-room.com Also template-free blank canvas web design, a little more professional maybe?
Blame the move toward blogging systems that separated content from presentation. Blame advertising which has to be front-and-center at all times. I wonder how advertising would work on the web if you didn't have omni-present ads but instead sometimes the viewport contained no ads, sometimes it contains big huge ads that take up the entire viewport (like a full-page ad in a magazine). Would that make up for them not b…
Your idea sounds similar to some websites that show a full page banner with an x in the corner before visiting a certain page.

This was my initial reaction as well. Actually, as I find myself scrolling down the page, I thought the ideas were compelling. It was like this: [Facebook part ] Hmm… ok… [GO SLOWER ] Yeah! |----- .... ---- | YEAh! |.. ..... ------- .| YEAH! [Make it meaningful] Yeah! |.. ..... ---- .. .| YEAH! [Join ] Wait… what? Join… your app? I thought this was about hand-crafting. This is just another ad for a service that will…
these are the ideas behind scroll kit and i'm glad you agree with them. but we'd be some pretty shitty hackers if we just talked about them and weren't trying to actually DO something to change things.
I feel your message would be more honest if you went for an approach like WordPress did: with an open-source tool. You make money by providing a hosting platform for the less technically inclined.
And think about it. Wordpress actually did revolutionize publishing.

How does having a "Join" form make somebody a better "hacker"?

This sounds pretty biased and accusatory coming from the entity who created said product. Originality is a rare occurrence these days. Why are you so surprised to find something similar to what you've built?
It does seem like many more people are building web design apps, that's all. I like it. This one seems like a decent start, i'll be keeping an eye on it.

Similar, but not the same. That's more like sticking an ad on the cover of a magazine. If you are presented with content, then have to scroll past an ad I think the experience might be better. Currently we live with sidebars that contain omni-present ads.
This team page reminds me of geocities from the late 90s. https://www.scrollkit.com/s/iaJos01
I like it. Lots of personality, you know they're there to make it fun. We could do with a return of the GeoCities self-made-page aesthetic (with improved aesthetic sense, of course) on a web where everything on the big sites is neatly templated and identical in layout. Amidst all the consistency, I've been missing the touches that used to make personal sites unique. All people do on their blogs now is throw on funny…
For whatever reason, we keep having to relearn the "angry fruit salad" lesson over and over: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/A/angry-fruit-salad.html
