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!

Thank you! Curious — how did you find out about mmm initially?
Re:An Internet Canvas by waboremo on Friday May 05, 2023 @07:19PM (#35836332)
Through discord! A good friend started talking about it a while back, no idea how she first found it out about it but possibly through tumblr since that used to be her main hub for a while.

Not the OP, but I found out about mmm.page through Kinopio: https://kinopio.club/

Both make me happy about the next evolutionary steps in the world wide web :)

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

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.

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).

Not VC-funded :)

As to charging an (optional) paid plan, unfortunately, I have been bootstrapping this full-time the past few years, and because I can’t till my own land anymore, have to find the least terrible way of exchanging labor for money, such that I can pay for food and bills.

That being said, there is a free tier for this very reason, as I remember all the free services that got me started initially. Hoping to make this tier more generous once the project is profitable.

Let me know if you have other ideas. If I can (a) pay for business costs (accounting, APIs, hosting, etc), (b) pay for my bills, (c) attain a and b w/ incentives that align with my users and the principles of the project — I am all ears.
