🚀 Open Ulysses – Own a Word. Link It Forever.
Monetize a classic. Advertise through literature. Break the internet.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
What if James Joyce’s masterpiece could become a digital playground for entrepreneurs, artists, and internet weirdos?
Introducing Open Ulysses:
- An interactive version of Ulysses where every single word is for sale.
- Pay once. Link it to anything you want — your project, startup, meme, manifesto, or secret cult.
- It’s yours. Forever. No renewal. No censorship. Just pure literary chaos.
💡 How it works:
- The entire novel is online.
- Each word is clickable.
- You buy a word (€5 per character), and you link it to whatever you want.
- Once it's linked — it's locked. The link is permanent, public, and eternal.
📈 Why?
- Because traditional advertising is boring — and this is not.
- Because the internet loves scarcity, absurdity, and anything that makes people say "wait... what?"
🔗 Who's linking, and to what?
So far, people have linked:
- Products
- Music videos
- Articles
- Personal blogs
- Total nonsense
💰 What's the business model?
- €5 per character
- No subscriptions
- 100% weird
- Zero regrets (…maybe)
🎯 Who is this for?
- Indie makers who want unexpected visibility
- Artists and digital pranksters
- Marketers looking for the next viral stunt
- Anyone who thinks the internet is too clean, too safe, too normal
💬 I'd love your thoughts:
- Would you buy a word?
- What would you link it to?
- Is this brilliant? Dumb? Performance art? The new SEO?
- How should I grow this without killing the fun?
📚 Open Ulysses is where clicks meet culture, and the line between advertising and art gets blurry fast.
Thanks for checking it out — and if you link something weird, please tell me. I collect favorites.
