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.

    • The Laws of UX: A website which catalogs principles, laws, razors -etc- which are relevant to consider for designers. Each concept has its description, the main takeaways, and sources for further reading.

    • The Arrowverse: A page which only focus is to catalog in chronological order every single episode from CW’s “Arrowverse” TV shows, like Arrow, Flash, etc. Very helpful for those looking to join in since cross-overs between shows are fairly common, so watching in order makes more sense story-wise
