Show HN: WebTiles – create a tiny 250x250 website with neighbors around you
There is a large grid of 250x250 tiles, on which you are be able to create a tiny website, contained into the tile. You can basically consider the tile as a mini version of your website, showcasing what your full site has (but it can be anything). You are able to link to your full site, and use any HTML/CSS/JS inside. The purpose is to create beautiful and interesting tiles, that could be used for exploring the indie-web in an easy and interesting way.

How do you forecast with tiny datasets (2–15M ARR)
I’m trying to learn how founders and sales leaders forecast revenue at $2M–$15M ARR when the dataset is small and the process is still forming.
Stage-weighted pipeline and confidence scoring seem to produce consistent failure modes: Late-quarter surprises, optimistic sales "Commits", inactive pipeline that inflates coverage, that sort of thing.
If you have a forecasting approach that has worked at this stage, I’d love details like: - What inputs you trust (buyer actions, MAPs, next-step dates, meetings, security review started, etc.) - How you define stages so they mean something - How you audit pipeline for the truth without getting into storytelling sessions - What you stopped doing that made the biggest difference
I’m building a system in this space, so I’m biased, but I’m here to learn what actually works in the wild.
If it’s useful, I can share a 1-page rubric and a simple weekly pipeline review checklist. Email in my profile.
