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.
Ubuweb has a huge archive of video, music, and poetry from mostly the 20th century avant garde. It’s a great site to just aimlessly explore. In some ways this website isn’t narrow at all, but I think it probably appeals to a pretty narrow group of people. https://www.ubu.com/index.html
