#32Creator here. Tiny ads is my attempt to create a cross site ad network for hackers and side projects. It's more an experiment than a serious business venture. The idea is simple. We place a little ad on each others page with a link back to ones side project. It privacy respecting (no user tracking) and will work in the beginning by me judging which project to include into the ad network. I hope to create a positive s…
I can't help but think of web rings on Geocities.

I believe this is a typo on your home page:
"No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves."
Should be "saved".

#36Nice, super simple process! I've submitted an ad for my side project, rowsandtables.com. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Hey! I submitted my project with stories of "data hackers" ( https://datapeek.org/stories ) . Would you be open to an interview? Your project is quite ingenous it would be a great fit :)

#37Very nice idea - exactly what I was looking for!
I just uploaded my own side project (http://spot.gifts) but the image I uploaded is showing as broken (was initially .svg). I tried to upload a .png and delete my previous post but that didn't work. Just thought I'd give you feedback. Keep going!

#39I'm very selective with the external scripts allowed on my websites. Ad networks are notorious for running malicious JavaScript on popular sites like NYTimes[1] and Yahoo[2] home pages. Any plans for an API so sites can receive ad content as JSON and display it without ever executing your external JavaScript? I might consider it for future side projects if I could npm install your client library instead of including an external script tag.

I used to do ad scheduling 10+ years ago and at least in those times the ads has NOSCRIPT tags.
But for it to really work you would need to store a cookie to correctly redirect the user.
I like your idea of rendering the ads on the server side, but I would hope they would have super low responsive times. Or at least low timeout on your side.
