An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

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.

Rainwave.cc is kinda like the link you posted but for remixes of gamemusic, mostly from Overclocked Remix, which I've been on since like, 2004 or something haha. I use it all the time!

https://tasvideos.org/ It's a website that publishes Tool Assisted Speedrun videos and a community that makes the same. I've been part of this website for nearly 20 years at this point.

Nicky Case's website. Nicky makes very interesting interactive content that can help visualize concepts like vicious cycles, anxiety, trust and much more. Author of cool stuff that you may have seen on youtube before, like Evolution of Trust.
