Hey Product Hunt šŸ‘‹ Twenty years ago the Million Dollar Homepage sold a million pixels once and was done. The idea deserved a second life — one where the wall keeps living, and where it's local. Banners City is a website whose entire content is bought advertising. No articles, no feed, no filler. You land on a grid of square cells, and every banner you see was paid for by somebody. How it works: ā—¼ Every country, city and district has its own independent grid. New York and Lisbon don't share a wall. ā—¼ You pick free cells right on the page: click a corner, the area you can stretch into lights up, click again to take it. Sizes go from a single cell to a full-width block. ā—¼ The higher the row, the more it costs. Row 1 is the front page of the front page, and prices fall as you go down. ā—¼ Pay monthly — or buy the spot outright and hold it for ten years. ā—¼ Blocks 4 columns wide and 2 rows tall or larger can run video instead of a still image. ā—¼ Tag filters rebuild the grid, so "coffee" or "hiring" is one click away. The scarcity here isn't artificial — the grid grows as it fills up. What's limited is the top: there is exactly one row 1 per city, and it goes to whoever takes it first. 🐦 For the first 1,000 advertisers: use EARLYBIRDS at checkout for 20% off. Works in every city, one use per buyer. I'd love to hear two things: which city you'd put your banner in, and what would push you from looking at the wall to actually buying a cell on it.
