I love the weird one-off internet: those tiny little fan projects made by someone with a true passion and something in their mind that’s probably hard to pronounce.
Any fun corners of the internet out there still beyond social media? Or do you build anything yourself?
A site compiling every existing music genres, map them, then create submaps for each genre. It’s mesmerizing
I was wondering what the axes were…
The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.
Click anything to hear an example of what it sounds like.
Really cool.
Not something I’ve built, but I was reviewing my bookmarks the other day and I found this site that I don’t even know how I found to begin with: http://geacron.com/home-en/
It’s an interactive world history atlas, where you can set the year and see what territories/nations existed or were like in the past. I’m not sure how accurate the maps are, especially as you go back further in history, but it’s still fun to get a rough idea of where different groups of people were.
Not weird and not super obscure, but if you haven’t already seen this blog: https://ciechanow.ski/. Each post explains some random concept, but with interactive animations which make it intuitive and interesting.
