| Thanks for sharing original link -- had not seen that project

| healthy dent in my savings over the past three years haha).
|
| So if you enjoy the project, or want to support some of the
| researchy aspects of it, please consider upgrading!
|
| I have another article in the works about the importance of
| independent funding models and slow growth incentives w/r/t
| organic social networks, and projects that necessarily
| require slow exploration as a community (not, in contrast,
| "spaces designed by committee").

|
| Using a WYSIWYG editor is really useful for people who want to
| create content, not create an app.

| 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].

| Thank you! Curious -- how did you find out about mmm

| Read once normal, then try editing it.
|
| So how do you do that? I'm probably missing something very
| obvious here.
| xhfloz wrote:
| The page shared here was a read-only version. The editable
| version is at: https://paper.mmm.dev
|
| (But due to some iFrame hackiness, it doesn't work in
| incognito.)

| Oof. I take it that's not a great thing.
