Creator here.
Tiny ads is my attempt to create a cross site ad network for hackers and side projects.
It's more an experiment than a serious business venture.
The idea is simple. We place a little ad on each others page with a link back to ones side project.
It privacy respecting (no user tracking) and will work in the beginning by me judging which project to include into the ad network.
I hope to create a positive sum game and give cool projects a new platform.
(The ad will start showing on March 15th)
- repartix 6y ago> will work in the beginning by me judging which project to include into the ad network. A solution to this problem that doesn't take your time is to ask projects to put down a deposit. Bad/spam projects don't get the deposit back. https://repowcha.com https://repowcha.com solves this.
- aaronbrethorst 6y agoPlease stop making your sample ad wiggle.
- ruiramos 6y agoGetting a 404 after adding the script tag to my page, just to confirm this is the expected behaviour for now?
- ezzato 6y agoYes, the ad endpoints are locked right now. Doors are opening on March 15th. I wanted to give this a slow start to have a credible amount of projects to show. Only ads with the script tag will be included to the ad network.
- nrjames 6y agoI can't help but think of web rings on Geocities.
- jb_s 6y agoCan we bring these back?
- systematical 6y agoI was waiting for this comment.
- toyg 6y agoSame. Which I think is great, the real spirit of the early web.
- jb_s 6y agoI like this. It reminds me of the old internet :-)
- dpcan 6y agoI believe this is a typo on your home page: "No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves." Should be "saved".
- chromatin 6y agoNice site -- Good luck! I suggest having a native speaker of English do a once-over of your materials for editing help. Some copyediting help: FAQ: Is Tiny Ads GDPR conform? -> "conformant" (or more naturally, "Does Tiny Ads conform to GDPR?" No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves. -> "saved" How does the blacklisting works? -> "work" It could distract our user when they want to decide to try us out -> This is a statement not a question ;)
- ezzato 6y agoThanks. I fixed the typos.
- hanniabu 6y agoDid you build this with Tailwind? If not, what UI framework did you use?
- ezzato 6y agoYes. Tailwind mixed with alpinejs.
- abiogenesis 6y agoNice one. I believe it was tried before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkExchange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkExchange
