Totally 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!

Do a soundcloud integration like poolside fm did

When I saw the title, I assumed I would just like it for the heck of taking a look into the past. But in reality the nostalgia hit very effectively, I really started remembering very good and interesting times on that website I had when i was a teen. You've done a really good job of capturing its magic.

Neat! I’d sign up if there was an option to throw a few bucks your way and have absolutely guaranteed zero tracking, ads, or sharing/use of my data for anything other than what’s strictly necessary to run the site itself.

I wouldn't mind ads if they were static or, at worst, .gif. No tracking, no javascript, just a simple banner.

The rebuild doesn't appear to be using React or Angular. Keeping it true to 2007-style server-side rendering.

You'd need to build it in ColdFusion cfm pages to really capture that original flavor. They migrated to ASP.NET at some point before everyone left.

Playing around with it made me realize just how much I miss those good old derpy days, and how many great times I had on myspace and then mostly forgot about. It made me a bit emotional even. Thank you!

I don't have that much time atm, but I can't wait to get into the CSS and whatnot <3

Good idea. I think there’s a lot of room for some kind of internet social network that gives you a space for a custom profile, chatting with friends about anything, no algorithms dictating what you see, no heavy handed moderation, etc. wish you success

I live and breathe on the internet and have never been moderated once, even freely expressing myself, insulting people who deserve it, etc. My point here is that if you think the current social media options have "heavy handed" moderation, you're probably the problem, not them.

Your assumption is that the moderator is fair. This is often not the case.
