Fuck, another brilliant idea that was easy to make, but I didn't do. It reminds me of the million dollar website where each pixel was sold as advertisement.
Since then a million other "million _____" websites popped up. I saw a site selling one million text lines for $1 apiece. Last I saw they sold one line, now the site is gone [edit: INCORRECT]. Found the site: https://www.themillionlines.com/

I also think that's one of those lucky/momentum deals, wasn't it each pixel was $1 or were they worth more? There are a million companies out there (to ask)?.

#14Assuming the codex editor is the editor for the area below the auction counter, isn't that a security vulnerability that can put the site audience at risk?
The Codex agent is only given tools to edit the single HTML file that displays on the homepage. The page is on a separate domain, so there's no cookie sharing, and the iFrame is in a sandbox. That said, the biggest risk is social engineering attacks.

What’s to stop someone rewriting the iframe wrapper to hide the real iframe and display a fake one?

#16I am sure that there will be detractors, who will tell you that it has been done before ( and in a sense, it is true; nihil novi and all that ). That said, this is done in a way that moves a little closer to that fascinating reality present in 'transmetropolitan' graphic novels, where things online are in near constant flux. Kudos.
