Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

#12Totally loving this. Did you reverse engineer the layouts from screenshots? Please tell me somewhere there is a snippet of original HTML snarfed from archive.org :) Finally you're totally missing a beat here -- MySpace lived and died by its community of indie bands. Ditch that dodgy mainstream iTunes Music wrapper and make the actual music function work again. You never know, you might strike a nostalgic retro chord…
Hey, I'm An, the creator of SpaceHey!
Thank you!!
Yes, I looked at a ton of old screenshots, wikipedia sites and archive.org pages! That's how I designed most of it!
I'm currently looking into all of the legal stuff which comes with music sharing, but a dedicated music feature is definitely planned! The iTunes API is just a temporary thing to fill it with some content!

#13Sidenote: I was in a band in High School that uploaded all its music to MySpace in 2006, and our only backups were a few CDs we had made; so when MySpace lost all that [0], it was my first, most painful lesson about backing up important things multiple times. [0] https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/myspace-lost-m...
I had recently lost some important data back then so luckily I was already backing up data by then! Though now I have kind of the opposite problem, I have too much data and it's difficult to navigate through it all :)

#14I've been beta testing SpaceHey since I saw An was letting some people in and I must say the nostalgia is strong. Love this site so much!
Thank you for helping me test it!! :D

This was my first thought too.

#17Super cool! Are you considering federation a la ActivityPub et al?
Just thinking of a way for you to really stunt with what MySpace could have been that Facebook or Twitter would never do.

#18Website looks very very good and loads very fast imo. Just usable without fancy bells. I like this design.
