Every few months, I find myself coming back to one of my favorite little corners of the internet: mmm.page. Its tagline, “Your Corner of the Internet,” says it all. It’s a simple, slightly chaotic web tool that lets you build and publish pages without structure, pressure, or rules. It feels like what would happen if PowerPoint and a scrapbook had a charming, internet-native baby.
The interface is minimal and unstructured in the best way. There are no grids or component systems to wrangle. Just two faint lines to show where mobile cutoffs will be and the rest is yours. Drag and drop a gif, a song, a sticker, or a block of text, wherever you want. It’s the kind of tool that makes you want to make things. Like doodling in a notebook but for the web.
Two of my favorite pages I’ve made on mmm.page are entirely unnecessary, which is probably why I love them so much. The first is an About Me page I made back in 2021. It’s a casual snapshot of who I am outside of work.
The second is a trip overview I made for a weekend away with my D&D group (we’re scattered across the country). It had Airbnb info, packing lists, and inside jokes — the kind of thing that easily could’ve lived in a Google Doc. But this was more fun. And sometimes that’s the point.
Tools like this remind me of what the internet used to feel like. I know a lot of people are writing some version of that lately, but it’s true — it’s a nice break to build something just because you want to. No rules, no polish, no “deliverables.” Just design for the joy of it.
