Our dot-com era, remixed
Every generation gets a moment when the internet feels wide open again. Vibe coding is ours: a surge of experiments before the market decides what survives.
The manifesto · Class of 2026
In 2026, people stopped waiting for permission. They opened a chat box, described what should exist, and shipped. Vibe coding turned software into a public act of imagination: messy, fast, personal, sometimes brilliant, sometimes gone by Monday.
That rush is the artifact. The Class of 2026 wall is a roll call for the people building while the story is still happening.
Part directory, part time capsule, part internet monument: a place for builders to get seen today and remembered later.
Every generation gets a moment when the internet feels wide open again. Vibe coding is ours: a surge of experiments before the market decides what survives.
Founders, operators, designers, students, and weekend builders are using AI as a creative partner. Taste, curiosity, and speed are becoming a new kind of leverage.
A tile says your app was part of the Class of 2026 before the retrospectives, before the winners, before history cleaned up the chaos.
One million pixels. One cohort. One ridiculous, sincere internet monument for the builders who showed up early.
And yes — this wall was vibe-coded too. Described into existence, argued with, and shipped fast, like everything it remembers.
A roll call of the Class of 2026: every claimed app, site, tool, and experiment, preserved with its tile and place on the wall.
The yearbook will fill as builders claim tiles on the wall.
The Class of 2026 wall is a public archive for the vibe-coding moment: a place to show what you shipped, get discovered today, and leave a timestamp for the builders who come later.
Because 2026 feels like one of those rare internet years when the rules change in public. People are building faster, stranger, and more personally than before. This wall preserves that moment before history tidies it up.
Vibe coding is building software by describing what you want, steering AI tools with taste and judgment, testing what comes back, and shipping quickly. It can be code, no-code, prompts, design, product thinking, or all of it at once.
The barrier between having an idea and putting a working version on the internet is collapsing. Founders, students, operators, designers, and weekend builders are creating apps that might have taken whole teams years ago. Some will become companies. Most will vanish. The wave itself is worth recording.
A 1,000,000-pixel internet time capsule for apps, sites, tools, and experiments built by the vibe-coding class of 2026.
No. It is part directory, part yearbook, part public record. The tile can bring exposure today, but the bigger point is that your project becomes part of the Class of 2026 archive.
Anyone using AI, code, no-code, prompts, taste, curiosity, or stubborn experimentation to ship something real in 2026. You do not need to be a traditional engineer. You do need to have built something.
There are exactly 1,000 free founder tiles, numbered in order of enrollment. Early builders get a low classmate number and a place on the first page of the archive — proof that your project was here while the wave was still forming.
December 31, 2026. When the class graduates, the wall freezes forever — no new tiles, no edits, just the record. Free founder tiles can run out earlier: there are only 1,000.
Click or drag on the wall (or hit "Claim your free tile" and we will find you a front-row seat). Add your project name, link, a one-liner about what you shipped, your X handle if you want credit, and a color or tile image. Each tile links out to the project URL you provide.
One free founder tile (up to 20×20 pixels) per project/domain. Similar URLs such as https://dreamdeploy.com, http://www.dreamdeploy.com/, and dreamdeploy.com?utm=x count as the same project.
The center is prime real estate: it is the most visible part of the wall. Later builders can still join the archive, but center-stage placement is paid.
Founding-ring claims are free up to 20×20. Center-stage tiles are $1/pixel with a 10×10 minimum ($100); paid claims go through Stripe checkout before they appear on the wall.
The wall freezes — either when the last pixel is claimed or on December 31, 2026, whichever comes first. After that it stays up as a permanent record of the 2026 vibe-coding era: a public snapshot of who was building when the wave was happening.
That is part of the point. Products change, domains expire, repos get abandoned, and companies close. The wall keeps the record that the project existed.
Use a project name, app link, color, or simple image that represents what you built. Obvious spam, abuse, impersonation, or unlawful content may be refused or removed.
The wall preserves the tile and link as part of the archive. External sites can change, expire, or disappear, which is part of what makes the time capsule interesting.

Founder tiles up to 20×20 are free and go public immediately — one per project, while the 1,000 last. Center-stage pixels are $1 each and go public after checkout.
