Hey HN!

So, I built a website with 1000 tiny grids. You can rent one for a year, add your image and link, and call it your internet real estate. Will it change your life? Probably not! But for the price of a coffee, you can claim your own square in this... uh... digital masterpiece.

Let me know what you think!

Interesting concept. How did you arrive at this idea?
Thanks! I wanted to create a fun way for people to showcase their websites using a simple grid layout. It’s all about community!
Seems like a variation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage but yearly instead of one-time payments. The Million Dollar Homepage had a sort of early-internet novelty vibe to it, but beyond that I don't get the practicality of this kind of thing. Okay so it's a billboard...who drives traffic to it? Who looks at the billboard other than once or twice to see if they want to rent their own space?
Quadruple the price. Charge monthly. Reduce the billboard to 1/5 of the current size.

Decrease the cost and increase the volume over time.
