  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].

  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?

  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/

  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.

  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.

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

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

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