Whether you found it on a recommendation from others or on your own, we’ve likely encountered small corners online that delight us. One person or small team blogs that are surprisingly insightful, web apps or games that have been go-to’s for ages, showcases and exhibits on a specific yet curious niche, striking art pieces.
Do you have any favorite websites that loosely fall in this grouping? What about it is delightful to you?
I’ll give a couple personal examples that come to mind to get things started:
- The Vidya Interweb Playlist: A relatively well-designed music player that exclusively plays music from a load of videogames. I can’t remember how exactly I found this, but I have some good memories of it being a sizeable part of my soundtrack to my middle school years.
- The Web Design Museum: A showcase of how various websites have evolved over the years. I think it’s cool to see how things have developed with changing tech and changing tastes.
vndb, best tagging system on the planet, I wish every media database had thish much possibility
I looove me a great tagging system and library. It looks like this site also makes use of subtags, tag definitions, and a finely robust search system. It’s the kind of stuff that I never realize how much I appreciate it until I don’t have it somewhere. I wish every database and file system was built to allow this kind of robustness.
kinda strange that Certain Major OS file explorers aren’t as thorough as this right out of the box, come to mention it 🤔
