Could use a walkthrough, or indicate why clicking right away does not appear to do anything.

Part of the social experiment of it is that it's supposed to be so minimalist that there's no need for instructions. That said, clicking a pixel is supposed to change it to your current color, kind of like in mspaint. What browser/device are you using?

Safari Mac doesn't work. Grey-on-grey checkers.

Chrome Mac does work.

This was inspired by reddit's r/place experiment last year, I never tried it but read about it after the fact. It looked fun and I like social collaborative creative things, so I wanted to make a kind of replica of it. That's how this came about.

This is neat. I want a hardware version of this.

What do you mean by hardware version?

A dedicated device for this website. I’d hang it on the wall like a painting, and it would have a new picture on it every day, and you could even change it if you wanted to.

I don’t think I want it enough to actually buy an iPad and do it, but I really like the idea...
