       Show HN: WebTiles - create a tiny 250x250 website with neighbors
       around you
        
       There is a large grid of 250x250 tiles, on which you are be able to
       create a tiny website, contained into the tile. You can basically
       consider the tile as a mini version of your website, showcasing
       what your full site has (but it can be anything). You are able to
       link to your full site, and use any HTML/CSS/JS inside. The purpose
       is to create beautiful and interesting tiles, that could be used
       for exploring the indie-web in an easy and interesting way.

       | allowing limited JS execution?
