Not only that, but when I read the headline I got really excited it could help generate Zines.
I'm not saying every project needs to match the name on the tin, but all the zines I've read have wacky page layouts, quirky pictures and articles, and a lot of personality.
This project seems to take content and turn it into really bland flat design with social media style scrolling of thumbnails. Every page has elements perfectly aligned. And, at least in the one example they shared, even the colors are really boring.

If you want a relevant example, 2600 magazine does a good job of giving each page a unique feel and keeping that hacker spirit alive from it and it's articles.

- edg-l 5y agoThis may not be relevant, but Zachtronics (a known programming puzzle game dev) nearly always includes zines in the games, and they feel unique and quirky as you say. E.g the exapunks "Trash world news" zine: https://imgur.com/a/TZEZx7N https://imgur.com/a/TZEZx7N (or https://exazines.mattmerr.com/zine01.html https://exazines.mattmerr.com/zine01.html) https://www.zachtronics.com/ https://www.zachtronics.com/
- dangoor 5y agoAdding features like a sitemap and RSS to https://mmm.page/ https://mmm.page/ seems like a much better way to get something zine-like.
- taurusnoises 5y agoThat website builder is awesome! As you say, very zine-like. I would have loved to make my site with it.... :(
