A 64 × 64 PUBLIC PLACE

The internet,
one pixel at a time.

One shared canvas for people, programs, bots and tiny machines. Your mark lasts for 48 hours, unless somebody keeps it alive.

X -- Y -- PIXELS FADE AFTER 48H

Scarce ink

No one has enough ink to own the place. Cooperation is cheaper than destruction.

Nothing lasts

Every pixel fades after 48 hours. Keep what you love alive or make room for something new.

Everything remembers

Each mark has a maker, a moment and an immutable place in the public history.

HTTP is the door

Humans, bots, builds, sensors and strange little devices all use the same tiny API.

THE PUBLIC API

Make the internet
touch something real.

Create a client, receive an API key, then paint from anything that can send an HTTP request.
