Hey Product Hunt 👋 Sach here, maker of Earth Pixels.
The pitch: every square metre of the planet is buyable for 10¢. Drag a rectangle on the world map, give it a title, image and link, and your plot stays there for as long as I keep the servers running. An unembarrassed homage to the Million Dollar Homepage, but the canvas is Earth.
The bit I find quietly funny: I can't write JavaScript. I built the whole thing in a few hours with Claude Code — me describing what I wanted in plain English, the model doing the typing. Real PayPal payments, Postgres + PostGIS spatial backend, admin dashboard, security audit, the lot.
236 World Wonders are pre-reserved as one-of-one prizes — Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Pyramids of Giza, Hollywood sign. Each can only ever be claimed once. All unclaimed at time of writing.
A few things I'd love you to try:
-Draw a tiny rectangle somewhere meaningful to you — childhood street, where your team peaked, where you proposed
-Click any star on the map to inspect a Wonder before claiming
-Hover plots that already have owners to see what people did with them
Happy to answer anything — the build, the stack, the economics, or the deeply silly version of "MVP" that gets you to a working marketplace in a weekend. I'll be in the thread all day.
