Check it out: SpaceHey.com
The founder is Anton Röhm, and his bio reads…
22yo student from Germany who loves to code
He recently announced that the site has hit 1 million users and shared the origin story…
I launched SpaceHey at the end of 2020 – I had just graduated high-school, and the world was on Covid lockdown. I made SpaceHey, so my generation could experience the early days of social media – without a feed, likes and whatnot
Unclear how much money the site is making. I don’t see any ads on there, looks like the only monetization is via donations, stickers and merch 
But given the growth, the site could prove to be a great earner for Anton.
Got me thinking: maybe there are opportunities to rebuild and monetize other fondly-remembered websites from the early days of the internet 
Such as…
