Internet Finds
A curated collection of things I've found on the internet that I keep coming back to. Well-crafted websites, Reddit rabbit holes, and small games that deserve more attention.
Websites
Sites that made me pause and appreciate what people can build on the internet. Some of these inspired me to write about craft.
- Interactive explainers that belong in an Internet Hall of Fame. Start with Lights and Shadows.
- A beautifully made walkthrough of something most of us take for granted
- Clean, well-structured, does one thing extremely well
- For anyone who's ever wanted to trace the Fellowship's journey
- Atmospheric and immersive. The kind of site that feels like an experience.
- Animated infographics that make complex things intuitive
- The essay that inspired how I think about personal websites
- An interactive map of how every technology in history connects to what came before it
- The entire history of the world distilled into a single chart. Audacious and beautiful.
Reddit Threads
Threads I've saved over the years. The kind you open in a tab and come back to.
- One of those threads that hit different
- Surprisingly practical
- Life advice from strangers on the internet
- Practical wisdom
- A couple attempts to cook a dish from every country. Great thread for recipe discovery.
- Conversation starters that go somewhere
Simple Games
Small browser games I return to when I need five minutes of nothing productive.
- Flood-fill color puzzle. Deceptively addictive.
- A portfolio that's also a 3D driving game. Incredible craft.
- Trap the horse. Simple premise, surprisingly tricky.
- A collection of delightful interactive web experiments. Hours of distraction.
