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.
I owned a nice little parcel, but my registrar had issues with a payment and the email got swallowed up and I didn't notice. Forgot to check up on it because I paid for several years up front at a time. Oh well :)

Reminds me a bit of http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com
Old Internet times that will probably never come back.
I wonder how much of that would be left standing today if you blanked out all the dead/squatted links...

The Alaska Mint is the only link I clicked that still worked
Pianoverse shows up in one of the tiles. Clicking on the piano keys in the tile produced tones!! Pianoverse is here, https://pianoverse.net/
Link to pianoverse.net tile, so satisfying to play with: https://webtiles.kicya.net/#875,125
I also created an interactive tile based on my vanilla-tilt.js library for my app: https://webtiles.kicya.net/#625,3875
This is really cool! How are you sandboxing the tiles and allowing limited JS execution?
I'm using JS-Interpreter project: https://github.com/NeilFraser/JS-Interpreter . It's slow, but easy to add and work with.
This immediately reminded of https://ourworldofpixels.com/
I'm actually an admin of that site, and I learned JavaScript by creating scripts for it (which eventually led me to becoming admin there).
This is very fun. Great idea and execution.
How do you prevent DoS attacks?
Cloudflare, rate limiting, and other limits.
Neat idea!
How does it differ from hundreds of other ideas and websites like this?
Why does it need to be different?
