Not sure if that also,supported re-trading/coloring of the pixel. That could be a nice touch or very against the idea of the others which meant to be "forever". Not needing a special browser is nice.

I might miss it but it seems this page assigns me a single pixel, or one pixel at a time where I can control x,y? The power of the others lies in being able to buy multiple pixels in a controlled fashion and having an easy way to add your logo (jpeg/png/...).

The difference with Thousand Ether Homepage is that they store images off chain. Etherdoek stores pixel information (hex values) on the Ethereum blockchain itself, including as events all pixel changes. All the blue question marks on Thousand Ether Homepage are lost images.

I've added a few Python scripts for easier interaction but totally agree that for now putting images on Etherdoek is a pain.
