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)

I can't help but think of web rings on Geocities.

Same. Which I think is great, the real spirit of the early web.

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 solves this.

Please stop making your sample ad wiggle.

Nice one. I believe it was tried before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkExchange

Getting a 404 after adding the script tag to my page, just to confirm this is the expected behaviour for now?
Re:Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects by ezzato on Sunday February 21, 2021 @04:42PM (#26217534)
Yes, 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.

I believe this is a typo on your home page:

"No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves."

Should be "saved".

I like this.

It reminds me of the old internet :-)

Nice 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 ;)

Did you build this with Tailwind? If not, what UI framework did you use?
Re:Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects by ezzato on Monday February 22, 2021 @02:42AM (#26221853)
Yes. Tailwind mixed with alpinejs.
