There is a large grid of 250x250 tiles, on which you are be able to create a tiny website, contained into the tile. You can basically consider the tile as a mini version of your website, showcasing what your full site has (but it can be anything). You are able to link to your full site, and use any HTML/CSS/JS inside. The purpose is to create beautiful and interesting tiles, that could be used for exploring the indie-web in an easy and interesting way. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Reminds me a bit of http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com Old Internet times that will probably never come back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm immediately amazed at how many neat 'small web' sites, seemingly made with love by nice human people, have claimed tiles already. Browsing around the tiles that look interesting feels like peeking through a time portal at 2001, in the very best way. In this way it really beats milliondollarhomepage since most of that was just ads for the moneymakers of the day. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Pianoverse shows up in one of the tiles. Clicking on the piano keys in the tile produced tones!! Pianoverse is here, https://pianoverse.net/ | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This is really cool! How are you sandboxing the tiles and allowing limited JS execution? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This is such a cool idea! The "corners of the internet" have felt increasingly opaque and cobwebby in this age of maximal indexing and centralization. Projects like this are a super cool way to recapture some of that old time magic. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
