Hello makers!

My name is Justin Higgins and I know nothing about sales and marketing.

I've been a "maker" for sometime, mostly hobby projects on the side of my day job but I always built with one pretty large flaw: I didn't sell or market my work.

I want to get better at these skills so I built: https://24hourhomepage.com

It's one big advertisement made up of 86,400 frames rendered for the corresponding UTC second. Only 86,400 ads are being sold and once they are all published, the project is closed and the website lives on indefinitely as an internet artifact.

I'd love for you to try it, share it and give any feedback you have!

Haha it was more of an honest question! I thought you had reasons. But this looks great, thanks for the quick fix! Always good to reduce clicks for the user :)

thank you, @bettie! if you'd like to promote your website, i think your Random Color generator would make for a great advertisement. I'll send over a 50% off coupon if you're interested 🎁

Interesting take on the million dollar homepage. Love it! Is there a reason why the price isn't displayed anywhere before clicking the add to cart button?

@tomascodes it'll be closed source until the project is closed (when I sell all the assets). if you send your feedback here or to justin@24hourhomepage.com I'll try my best to address what you've found! 🙇‍♂️

Interesting idea. Now you have to make it super popular for anyone to buy the slots.
