Overwriteme – a one-sentence website where words have a price

Summary: Overwriteme is a minimalist platform featuring a single public sentence that users can overwrite by paying more than the previous contributor. Participants can also lower the price, vote, and leave permanent comments tied to each sentence.

What it does

The site allows users to replace the current sentence by outbidding the last payment, while others can influence the price, vote, and add lasting comments linked to that sentence.

Who it's for

It targets users interested in exploring expression under scarcity and cost constraints in a simple, experimental online setting.

Why it matters

It demonstrates how attaching escalating costs to words affects online expression and interaction dynamics.
