What HN said
What people liked
Fun, creative, nostalgic Geocities/MySpace feel
From 4 comments
> 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…
Joe8Bit on HNThis is fantastic. Nice work. Just because of Geocities-era sites, I really wanted there to be graphical visit counter elements I could add to a page.
alexobenauer on HNI miss geocities..
The_rationalist on HNThis is really fun and cool. I haven't said that about a web tool in years. I think some other outfit, maybe it was ".me" or something had something personal but it wasn't fun.…

Editing the landing page itself is intuitive and fun
From 3 comments
I love it! Especially the editability of the landing page itself! I really hope this takes off - so much more creativity-inducing than squarespace or whatever! Does not really…
domano on HNMessed 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…
adventured on HNThe ease of editing scratches an itch I didn't know I had.

Responsive approach to layout is clever
From 2 comments
I love this app's approach to responsive design: just show the "safe" area and let people throw elements where ever. So liberating.
hailpixel on HNThis is awesome! Love the solution to responsiveness, that's really clever.

Objections
Work is lost on refresh or restart; no autosave
From 2 comments
I love the concept, and I was having a lot of fun building my first page; however, I had to restart my computer after adding about half a dozen page elements, and all my progress…
tmountain on HNI played for a few minutes, and when I refreshed my page my entire progress was lost.

Edit button is hard to find
From 3 comments
I wish the "edit" button was more visible. I noticed it only on my second visit. After I found it, I enjoyed playing with the page and the first hand experience a lot more than…
thih9 on HNGreat stuff! I'd recommend making the "Edit" button a bit more noticeable, took me a while to find it. Also do you have planned custom domains? Great job!
lalo2302 on HNThe 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…

Browser and mobile bugs (Firefox, Android, Apple gestures)
From 4 comments
I found it unusable on Firefox 81 (including with No addons). Clicks don't work at all - seems to work fine on Chromium. I suggest testing on a broader range of browsers. Edit:…
twoslide on HNLooks 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!
BeniBoy on HNAll apple gestures (pinch to zoom, 2 finger swipe for navigation) don't work at all. That's kind of a deal breaker for me ...
tzekid on HNThe layout is ... slightly broken on Edge browser on Android. (And zoom is disabled) https://i.imgur.com/2RoR52Y.jpg

lalo2302 on HNLove it, add custom URLS! The next time I start a new project, I might use this for a landing page !

Random page browsing or gallery

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..

HTML export

This 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…

Username and password login with 2FA
From 1 comment
I like it, but I won't consider using it until it lets me set a username and password (and preferably with 2FA as well) instead of the "we'll email you a login link" thing.

This feels like it’s in the same family as straw.page[1]. Both are a really refreshing break from homogeneous minimalist web design that’s taken hold over the past few years.…
