http://wiby.me/ is a cool site. It’s a search engine that only has web 1.0 and web 1.0-styled websites.
Live testing color palettes and fonts for web design. Made by a designer who’s really great, she runs a YouTube channel and made the site for free use by anyone.
How accurate are the palettes? Would we need to calibrate our monitors or does the site do that for you?
I doubt the site is able to calibrate to individual monitors, as there’s almost no way for it to know what you have.
Gotcha. So not too accurate for uncalibrated monitors then. Thanks!
Every music genre you can think of, and then some. I finally found out what the stuff I like is called.
A variety of neat activities and educational pages.
Gayhomophobe.com it counts the time since the last openly homophobic figure was caught in a gay sex scandal
Unfortunately the list seems to have become unmaintained.
Yeah. I can remember seeing a homophobic politician being caught at an orgy in the news just a few months ago.
There is this really cool place called Lemmy, I’m sure many people here have heard of it but not anyone I ask in other places. It’s like Reddit, it’s a forum-esque place where people can exchange their thoughts. The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things, but overall it’s pretty nice.
We don’t need this reddit-level comment here.
If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org
It’s free and open source, and it’s very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.
It doesn’t display annoying ads.
It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.
Plenty of people know of it, but more people should: isthereanydeal.com
It lets you keep a list of games you want to buy, showing you all the legitimate stores and the best prices, lets you set up notifications based on different parameters, lets you import your Steam wishlist, shows what sites have bundles, coupons, giveaways, etc. I check it for every game I want and have saved hundreds.
GPL interactive flash animations.
This was fairly cutting edge around 98 or 2002 when I first saw it. Really clean.
Not sure how any of the levitated Flash content can be shown now, but it appears that the creator Jared Tarbell is creating new works at infinite.center under MIT licence.
These look to be some of the best digital artworks available today.
Foldnfly.com - shows dozens of ways to fold paper airplanes.
www.thetruesize.com - Find the true size of one country compared to another.
I use it for background when I need to concentrate.
Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.
Every step of the way has some new frustrating way to confound the user. I was laughing/crying halfway through the process because of how stupidly unfriendly the design was. Just brilliant. Whoever did this is an evil supergenius and/or heavily into BDSM.
I’ve actually seen this used in movies and TV shows.
