There is a large grid of 250x250 tiles, on which you are be able to create a tiny website, contained into the tile. You can basically consider the tile as a mini version of your website, showcasing what your full site has (but it can be anything). You are able to link to your full site, and use any HTML/CSS/JS inside. The purpose is to create beautiful and interesting tiles, that could be used for exploring the indie-web in an easy and interesting way.

Neat idea!

This is really cool! How are you sandboxing the tiles and allowing limited JS execution?

I'm using JS-Interpreter project: https://github.com/NeilFraser/JS-Interpreter . It's slow, but easy to add and work with.

This is very fun. Great idea and execution.

This immediately reminded of https://ourworldofpixels.com/

I'm actually an admin of that site, and I learned JavaScript by creating scripts for it (which eventually led me to becoming admin there).

How do you prevent DoS attacks?

Cloudflare, rate limiting, and other limits.

Pianoverse shows up in one of the tiles. Clicking on the piano keys in the tile produced tones!! Pianoverse is here, https://pianoverse.net/
