Show HN: Mmm.page beta – Drag-&-drop websites like an internet canvas

Creator of mmm.page here. After 2 years’ of tedious refactoring, mmm.page beta is live!

The beta update brings an interface overhaul and a 90% rewritten codebase. In end-user-terms: premium plans, rich text, drawing, viewport resizing, private pages, custom HTML/CSS, domain names, sections, advanced styling (borders, opacity, etc.), server-side rendering, and an inordinate number of polishes/fixes. Also, sound effects :)

mmm.page has grown from 200 users to 33,000+ members since its launch on HN two years ago [1]. It’s been exciting seeing the range of pages made: pages of My Favorite Things, moodboards, photo walls, prayers, children-drawn comics. Websites closer to an “internet canvas” [2]. Explore them yourself on the showcase [3].

Looking ahead, I have already begun work on 1.0, which will introduce audio/video support, robust long-form text support, advanced layout capabilities (breakpoints, grouping, row/column), and collaboration features.

But most exciting of all is mmm.town [4] – the fun, social layer around mmm.page. Hopefully building on open protocols such as ActivityPub. More on this later.

Take a look at https://build.mmm.page. The homepage is editable, no login required.

P.S. mmm.page is bootstrapped and I'm full-time on this, so each upgrade helps a great deal.
