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!

[navs]

Love the look and feel. It's the perfect mix of clean and chaotic. As someone that works at a link-in-bio company, I find the way you've approached this far more creative.

[yawnxyz]

I can't believe you're ONE person who made all of it. Absolutely incredible work!

Sorry not gonna pay 5$ a month for what should essentially be free and open part of the web (instead of VC-funded and monetized).

In a mobile-first world I couldn't find a way to edit anything on the page on my iPhone.

The idea might be nice but without any mobile support (where a huge portion of the world is) it's impossible to tell whether it's good or not as we can't try it.

//edit okay it does work on mobile after reading other comments. Though the link on HN is wrong as I'm writing this: it points to a non-editable page.

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

I block Google web fonts, and it seems this breaks badly mmm.pages. I wonder why…?

Also, why does mmm.page loads ~160 Google web fonts?

[xhfloz]

Unfortunate compromise of not paying for font licenses — and google fonts is the most extensive collection of free fonts.

As for fonts — it’s unideal! Those initial fonts are actually just the glyphs subset of fonts so I can display their names in the font picker. It’s already somewhat cut down by separating the fonts into basic and all, as well as delaying the load a few seconds after initial load, but still a lot to fix up there.

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.

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.

I’m not saying this is vaporware but … where’s the app?

[akhayam]

My world started with LaTeX so I'll support an editor with the audacious goal of making editing "fun". Wasn't aware of mmm, but it looks and "feels" great.

PS: I am still in love with LaTeX--one of the only strongly-typed editors still standing the test of time.

[RodgerTheGreat]

As someone pursuing my own vision of a hypercard-like multimedia environment that lives in a self-contained HTML document, I'm quite interested in learning about the approach mmm.page takes with interactivity, but attempting to add "custom code" just tells me I need to upgrade. Is there somewhere with more details?

> Also, so I’m walking the walk, this page is fully editable. Read once normal, then try editing it.

So how do you do that? I'm probably missing something very obvious here.

[xhfloz]

The page shared here was a read-only version. The editable version is at: https://paper.mmm.dev

(But due to some iFrame hackiness, it doesn’t work in incognito.)

[jborichevskiy]

Huge fan! Excited to follow along and especially stoked for mmm.town. Keep up the amazing work

[cenan]

The homepage is very slow for me and causes my CPU fan to spin like crazy.

[xhfloz]

It could do with a heavy perf pass tbh. Haven’t had time juggling all the feature work, but it’s planned for 1.0. Mind letting me know what machine you’re on?

[torgard]

This is really cool. Absolutely fantastic editor! I'm blown away

MySpace vibes

[dot5xdev]

lol! I thought the exact same thing! Totally reminded me of old MySpace pages.
