Questions & answers

If you are just looking

What am I looking at?

One picture, woven out of websites. Every registered site occupies a square block of cells, and the cells that are not sites are filled with house tiles coloured from the day's palette so the artwork is always whole. Hover a block and it tells you whose it is; click and that site opens in a new tab. How it works has the long version.

Why is it different today?

Because a new one is built every night. Each date resolves to a theme — a shape and a palette — and at midnight UTC the whole board is packed again from scratch. Nobody keeps yesterday's position, including the people who paid the most.

Are you tracking me?

No cookies, no account, no analytics product, no advertising pixel. We count views and clicks — an advertiser has to be able to tell whether a tile did anything — and we store a one-way hash of the IP address rather than the address itself. Those rows are deleted after 90 days. The one thing we put on your device is a random number for the current tab, kept in session storage and gone when you close it, so that the viewer count is people rather than page loads. The privacy page lists every field we write down, including the two things that leave our server — the fonts, and ordinary web server logs.

So the tiles are ads?

They are paid and free listings, yes — that is what funds the board. But there is no ad network in the page: no third-party script, no tracking pixel, no redirect between the tile and the site it points to. A tile is a name, a colour, a logo and a link, and it is quiet until you point at it.

Are the links safe?

Every site is reviewed by a person before it enters the artwork, and we refuse the obvious categories — malware, phishing, fraud, and the rest of section 3 of the terms. We cannot promise what a site does after that. If a tile leads somewhere it should not, tell us and we will pull it.

Can I see the old ones?

Every day's mosaic is stored, so nothing is lost — but there is no page to browse them from yet. It is on the list.

It is tiny on my phone.

It is. The board is 140 columns wide at every screen size, because the blocks people paid for sit at fixed coordinates and dropping columns would hide them. On a phone that puts a cell at about two pixels. Press and hold a tile for a moment and you get the same tooltip a hover gives on a desktop; a short tap still opens the site.

If you want a tile

How do I get one?

Open claim your spot, give us the site, a category and a logo, and pick a size. A person reviews it, and once it is approved your tile enters the next mosaic that is generated.

What does it cost?

The current prices — including whatever discount is running — are on how it works, read live from the same place the registration panel reads them, so they cannot disagree. No card is taken when you submit.

What do I actually get for it?

A block of your size in every mosaic while your listing runs, re-placed each night, with your logo on it from the second size up. Not a fixed position, and not a promised number of visitors — section 5 of the terms is explicit about the difference, and how it works explains what the packer optimises for.

Can I change my logo, size, or link later?

Yes — email us and we will change it, and it takes effect from the next mosaic. There is no self-serve editor yet.

Can I get my listing removed?

At any time, by asking. It leaves the next mosaic that is generated. Artworks that already exist keep the tile that was in them, because they are a record of a day that happened.

The rest

Who runs this?

A small independent operation, reachable at [email protected]. There is no phone queue and no support portal — that address is answered by the people who built the thing.

Do you sell data?

No. Not the advertiser table, not the event table, not to anyone. There is also very little to sell — see privacy.
