One fundamental design principle of mine has been to be minimally prescriptive with the interface of mmm.page, so that people can create whatever they want. If that means 90s throwback, then I won't go out of my way to prevent that.

That being said, I have my thoughts on nostalgia-mining [1], and in short, believe that a more interesting visual culture today requires a more contemporary approach.

For example, one of my favorite pages is a page of hand-drawn comics combined with GIFs made by a kid [2], another is a cleverly-designed page on "soft tech" [3]. Here is an illustrative thread comparing link-in-bios and mmm.page sites made by the same person -- it's surprising how much tools can limit our self-expression [4].

Personally, I get excited when I see these examples -- a departure from the grid-confines of contemporary web design. In theory, nothing about "letting people create pages with as much freedom as possible" intrinsically = "90s web with blinking GIFs all over".

Let me know if you have any other questions.
