This website used to allow embedding text messages with <OP_RETURN>, here's an archive from 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20150718052659/http://eternitywall.it/

As of January 2024, it seems to read-only mode, where it simply indexes matching transactions that were made via other means: https://web.archive.org/web/20230929075331/https://eternitywall.it/
