Others cost ~$1.</li> <li>Once it’s claimed, no one else can own that second.</li> </ul> <p>Each second gets a unique page, and people can browse them like a timeline.</p> <p>💭 Why I built it<br> Mostly out of curiosity. I liked the idea of turning time itself into something ownable and interactive — like a historical canvas. It’s niche, weird, but fun.</p> <p>👉 Try it out<br> 🌐 <a href="https://chronomarks.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://chronomarks.com</a></p> webdev nextjs showdev sideprojects
