Welcome to my bookmarks library
Here's all the websites I like. This is a list curated for my personal entertainment, but perhaps we share some of these creature comforts together.
This page is periodically given new additions, while also being pruned of dead links, web-squatters and other irritating things. In the meantime, I'll try to archive pages featured here if they're not already hosted on the Wayback Machine. Above all, this list motivates me to stay curious and keep learning.
Frequently Asked Questions
"How did you get these links?"
Combing through link pages, collecting website directories (See my directories page!) and sometimes getting lucky.
"What are your favourite kinds of sites?"
My absolute favourites are archives and catalogues, it rubs my autistic brain so nicely to see things in order.
"What if one of these links goes dead? Is it removed?"
They stay up, but I'll mark them as dead. As each link has its own archive, this shouldn't be a bother.

| The Inaccessible Web Revival | "There were many things to love about the “old web.” But I think the main reason people are drawn to old-school web design today is not strictly because of nostalgia or even a love for 90s aesthetics (though sometimes it is). Instead, I think it’s because the older web felt more people-orientated, and in today’s corporate internet-sphere, that’s something many crave to see back. So, if you’re thinking of building a site or already have one, make sure it’s just that: for people." | 05/12/23 |
| The Indie Web Manifesto | "Education, information, culture and debate can only come from users, independent webmasters, academic or associative organizations." | 01/02/97 |
| The Internet that took over The Internet | "To make people think about what they produce, to make them connect to their online content.

| The Slow Web | "Fast Web is about information. Slow Web is about knowledge. Information passes through you; knowledge dissolves into you. And timeliness, rhythm, and moderation are all essential for memory and learning." | 08/07/13 |
| The small web is beautiful | "Either way, I believe the “small web” is a compelling term and a compelling aesthetic. Not necessarily in the visual sense, but in the sense that you built it yourself, you understand all of it, and you run it on a single server or static file host." | 01/03/21 |
| The Website Obesity Crisis | "To repeat a suggestion I made on Twitter, I contend that text-based websites should not exceed in size the major works of Russian literature." | 01/01/16 |
