A response to The Small Web Discoverability Crisis.

An excellent tool for exploring the small web can be found here.

Blogs

• Frills - This site is really pretty. Daw Frills o Gymru! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
• Ahn - Every page on this site is beautifully designed. Blogs about a range of creative topics.
• Marginalia (Viktor Löfgren) - The website that helped me discover the small web. I’m working my way through this “weblog” post by post.
• Flamed Fury - The design of this site oozes Web 2.0. I love the energy.
• The History of the Web - Some great reads if you’re already exploring the small web culture, and some insightful blog posts.
• Robin Sloan - Great opinions on AI, programming, and tech. His eBook template is also really cool!
• Wavebeem - Sage’s blog is great - content on everything, but with a focus on video games and web design.
• Gwern - An excellently designed website with great typography. If you go looking for a global RSS feed and don’t find one, you aren’t going mad - Gwern states that this is intentional.

Cool

• Little Worlds - A neat project that generates a new tiny world every refresh. Great for prompting stories.
• Orb.farm - Chill terrarium game.
• Sandspiel - Like Orb.farm, but more of a sandbox.
• The Boat - A really cool visual novel experience. Use headphones.
• The Voynich Manuscript - A site I’m only just scratching the surface off, but what a cool curio!
• Nightfall City - A whole city to explore (in text format).
• The Useless Web - Click a button, get a random HTML dopamine hit.
