yeah it's read-only for the moment, ways to remix posts and comment on posts are coming soon!

you can get a (loose) feel of how conversing will work by checking out this prototype by kicks: https://www.kickscondor.com/HT2020/

if you have any ideas for how social could work well on the site for you, pls let us know! hello [at] multiverse [dot] plus

i recently learned that the motivation behind creating medium was because of what you've pointed out -- and how curated and pre-designed medium has been is also a trade-off they've chosen to make

striking a balance between easy/fluid ways to express, and blogposts that feel like you is part of why we went to Nintendo and Mac paint for inspirations haha. I personally admire those tools/platforms a lot for how they offer limited yet wildly creative and fun ways to spend time

`post-based` vs `personal-site/webpage` is something we are discussing, maybe there can be a 'full screen' way to remove the frame. fwiw, the first collage blogpost I made didn't have a frame and you can feel it out here: http://weiweihsu.com/2020-07-26/wheres-home

replying to a post and a page imo has a lot of interesting possibilities that are yet to be explored too! the way we have time-based commenting and remixing for videos/audio (on soundcloud, tiktok, etc) has made us wonder in what ways can we get creative with commenting and replying, helping them be less plain

I'm just rambling on and I will pause here. so appreciate your comments here - there's so much work and fun ahead~

gotcha, thank you for elaborating! could be interesting to leverage stickers/transparent gifs for animations too

appreciate what you've expressed @overshard, it resonates

i dont think pre-designed sites and blogs are bad, but I think if/when they are the only (easy/popular) options out there, that's when it feels a little unfortunate

fun and casual is something that we strive for -- a lot of deep and rich things come out of playing and being playful. we hope that we can help contribute a small step toward that

halo kzrdude! for sure, remixing is part of what makes the web fun! right now, you can also export your post as svg, html, or png if you want to carry it somewhere else

we have had discussions about offering ways to embedding (like on the home page) and exporting the styles in json/css format too

ahh wuz you are too kind and your posts are wizardry. it brings me smile to see your (almost) eye-searing pink posts!

in case folks are interested, this is wuz's post on the old forums: https://multiverse.plus/wuz/a-love-letter-to-jred-net

yeah im one of the kid that is eternally grateful to sites like myspace and geocities

text control (including hyperlinking) is something we definitely want to invest more time into, so super yes to code examples

for now, you can copy and paste linked text into the text control, so format the text using something like https://trix-editor.org/ home page - then copy and paste it in

can you share more about what you have in mind for diagrams? drawing them with shapes or detailed diagrams (excel style)

animations and even code based triggers are features we think could really introduce more depth and interesting authoring abilities to this blogging site. if you have examples of animated diagrams, I'd love to see them and plan features with them in mind

hey! groups are definitely very limited right now, there are only a fixed # of groups that you can post to but we are looking to expand that

would love to discuss and hear your ideas on it if you are up for it! we are at [email protected] or our discord group is here: https://discord.gg/5MvkKjAyrM

and in case its interesting, humdrum shared their thoughts on groups in this multiverse wishlist post: https://multiverse.plus/kvnk/multiverse-wishlist

and @kickscondor also wrote up some thoughts on the social aspect: https://multiverse.plus/kicks/not-just-a-subreddit

glitchyowl here, one of the creator of multiverse, thanks for peeking in

we want to make blogging on the web a little more casual expressive than it's been. which is why we've went with a free-form canvas with lots of style customisation options ~*
