MySpace-ish 2.0 — Taking Online Connections Back to Their Roots

Hey guys, been trying to reach the right crowd and this may be the place

With competition between spacehey/friendrewind/Napoleonite I was wondering if you guys would be interested in a more modern take. You can still customize your profile page using html and css but with these following features...

Every profile has two interchangeable views:

Standard Mode — A clean, modern, structured layout 

MySpace Mode — A fully customizable profile designed by user's using html/css  

Hold Space to instantly flip between them. One provides familiarity and readability; the other showcases personality.

Custom Profile Design (HTML + CSS)

Users can design their profiles using HTML/CSS templates with dynamic tokens for personal data.

Example:

<h1>{{display_name}}</h1>
<p>{{bio}}</p>
<img src="{{avatar}}">

This keeps customization powerful, but still tied to real profile data.

Personal 2D Spaces

Each user has a small 2D sprite “room” attached to their profile (inspired by Club Penguin / Maplestory).

Visitors can enter these spaces and move around. Put on headphones and listen to music together by uploading mp4s to a jukebox. The goal is to make visiting someone’s profile feel like visiting their house except you guys are hanging out online.

Friend Discovery Based on Compatibility WIP

Instead of algorithmic feeds optimized for endless scrolling, discovery would focus on meaningful connection.

Matches and suggestions could be based on:

• 
  Shared interests
  


• 
  Introversion / extroversion preferences 


• 
  Community overlap
  

The goal is to help people find others they naturally click with, not just content designed to keep them online.

Core Idea

Bring back the feeling of early social platforms like MySpace where profiles and connections felt personal but combined with a more modern take

let me know what you guys think, trying to reach for some early users always open to chat!
