Show HN: I made 1000 virtual billboards because why not? (1000grid.com)

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?


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!


Quadruple the price. Charge monthly. Reduce the billboard to 1/5 of the current size.

Decrease the cost and increase the volume over time.


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!
