Super cool how you've stolen the work of other artists and don't credit them. I see gifs on your demo pages with 0 credit 🥴
@pasql Hey again! 👋 I talked to the team. They agree attribution is important and are focused on adding it, stat. Will update once we have it.
Ironic that Facebook — whose rise heralded the end of the offbeat internet — is presenting a product nostalgic for that same offbeat internet. Facebook, once the “antidote” to the offbeat internet, now productizes the “disease” no one asked it to cure in the first place.

Very interesting approach to usernames and permalinks. Curious about that strategy. Why innovate there?
@chrismessina We focused on giving people creative ownership over their space -- so, being able to pick the username you want + canvas title for each creation really gives you, the creator, the ability to make multimedia spaces that express who you are and whatever ideas you have.
We also focused on picking a short URL domain (e.gg) so that sharing these unique canvas and profile URLs wouldn't be tedious either.
I actually found the code for my first angelfire site and put it up on github pages lol! https://uzitech.github.io/tonys-... This type of thing helped me find my passion, hopefully it will do the same for kids today.
Hello PH!
The E.gg team’s pretty excited (and just a tiny bit nervous) to show everyone what we’ve been working on for the past couple of months. It all started when a few of us found ourselves missing the raw and exploratory spirit of The Early Internet and began to wonder things like: Is this misplaced nostalgia? What was _actually_ so special about that time? What if people could express themselves more freely today? Can we make more room for the weird and off-beat? Create a low-pressure space for the really unpolished and mismatched things?
E.gg is our experiment at tackling these questions. Here are a few highlights:
- Create freeform canvases using text, GIFs, images, and more.
- Everything can be freely positioned and sized to look however you want.
- Share and view on the web with a personalized e.gg url; no logins or downloads needed.
We wanted to keep it short here, but we have (a lot) more thoughts jotted down @ https://e.gg/about
If there’s anything you’d like to see in E.gg, or if you have general feedback, pls DM us @ https://instagram.com/made.on.egg!
That domain name 🤩
Also the website just displays the text "Loading..." on Firefox!
I... I'm in love 🥺 Literally can hardly wait to try this out, mind is BUZZING with ideas
Couple of things:
1. The wording for the waiting list makes it sound like it's only a waitlist for iOS, not the website. Am I supposed to be able to register for the website now, or is the waitlist also for the website?
2. Please, PLEASE tell me you're supporting animated cursors. That's honestly what I miss most.
