  Reminds me a bit of http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com

  Old Internet times that will probably never come back.

  Pianoverse shows up in one of the tiles. Clicking on the piano keys in the tile produced tones!! Pianoverse is here, https://pianoverse.net/

    Link to pianoverse.net tile, so satisfying to play with: https://webtiles.kicya.net/#875,125

    I also created an interactive tile based on my vanilla-tilt.js library for my app: https://webtiles.kicya.net/#625,3875

  This is really cool! How are you sandboxing the tiles and allowing limited JS execution?

    I'm using JS-Interpreter project: https://github.com/NeilFraser/JS-Interpreter . It's slow, but easy to add and work with.

  This immediately reminded of https://ourworldofpixels.com/

    I'm actually an admin of that site, and I learned JavaScript by creating scripts for it (which eventually led me to becoming admin there).

    Cloudflare, rate limiting, and other limits.
