A playful experiment in Art & Time. β° Visit & see 1 image per sec for each sec of the day. Repeats every day. π Forever. Tell a joke, promote a webcomic or grow business in this fun, 1OAK creative format. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Which are yours? βοΈ
Hello and welcome everyone! π
I built 24HourHomepage.com as a fun way to grow as an "internet introvert".
And what a fun journey it's been!
I've met all types of digital creators, entrepreneurs and artists online who either LOVE or don't understand the project. The beauty of the internet. π
β° A recap of how it works:
- When you visit the site, you'll see one image per second for the corresponding second of the day. In UTC time!
- You can add any family-friendly image and link to whatever site you want
- You'll see the same content if you return in:
- 24 hours
- 48 hours
- or 10 years at that same second of the day
- It'll be hosted forever
π A special offer for Product Hunt (offer expired)
- I will give 1-free second to anyone who says something positive publicly about 24HourHomepage.com
- If you say something really nice, you might get more free time.
- Offer expires after 08/01/2021
πΈ Limited Time Offer:
- If you register as an affiliate, you can get *90% commission* on any sales made on your referral.
- It takes less than 10 seconds to register: https://affiliates.24hourhomepag...
Thank you for your attention and I hope you...seize the day! ;)

PS
Here is a short talk I gave about the origins and growth experiments I've done for this project:
And every week I update http://higgins.medium.com/ with more of my experimental learnings βοΈ
@mdorsett Example:
"You don't need thousands of money to make a startup. You need to consider creativity. For example, http://www.milliondollarhomepage... If I sell a pixel for $1 I earn 1 million pixels $1 million. Simple and impressive. Or 24HourHomepage, Show 1 ad in 1 second. Simple and impressive. I have a sentence I said on this subject: 'You don't need to rocket to change the world. Even a needle can change the world.' - UΔur KILCI. "
This is an interesting experiment. But if I may ask - what is the point here, exactly? What need does this project meet or answer? Is it just self-promotion to the highest bidder? Do you have some kind of distribution between commercial and non-commercial submissions?
@hxii Thanks for checking out the project and for the great questions, Paul!
The point is to create a fun piece of internet art that can be enjoyed for decades. Much of what we ship as developers comes and goes, so I wanted to make something I could maintain for decades.
I also embed that promise in my sales offering.
But it's not just art for art's sake, via the URL they link to every contributor gets to promote whatever they want. Some say its a 24-hour advertisement, I say it's more like a 24-hour movie.
As for commercial vs non-commercial submissions, I don't restrict content submitted unless it fails to our "family-friendly" content guidelines. Both indie bloggers and big businesses are welcome!
I hope that helps!
@hxii I talked with Justin about some of his motivations for creating this on my YouTube today. I was inspired by his goals to improve his sales and marketing skills from building this. It may not be solving the climate crisis, but the skills that he builds creating 24hourhomepage will translate to any future things he works on. Awesome mindset to have as a maker imo.
