The internet is boring. All the good stuff is buried in the search engines. I found: https://kagi.com/smallweb which is worth a browse. Submit your cool websites/blogs here in a comment and share some underground web. In the name of fun.
Remember “webrings”? Im thinking those should make a comeback.
Thats something I always found cool about reddit, subs almost always having relevant, related, or “friend” subreddits in their sidebars
I think webrings are bigger than ever right now, they’re in a pretty massive renaissance
https://beaks.live is my contribution to the nonshittified web.
Absolutely amazing!
neal.fun will never not bring a smile to my face.
wheresyoured.at is a great newsletter written by a great journalist.
wiby.me to help explore non-corporate web
Ha ha cheeky bastards
Gemini is pretty neat. Is like an alternative internet, powered by only text and basic formatting. There’s lots of small blogs and webrings on there.
I guess ‘cool’ depends on personal interest and circumstances.
A house move likely prevents running our Aussie Halloween this year, after being featured on State TV news last year, but I would like to share past family/friends efforts to establish a fun spooky celebration, in circumstances where locally there is not an established tradition, originating because my daughter in-law grew up in North Carolina and she and my eldest son moved here at the height of the pandemic, so I have adopted Halloween as a way to incorporate her fond childhood memories into our local family and local Aussie community traditions, with the help of family members and many talented friends: https://scarymandercove.au/
That is cool! Right on. It’s all about making good memories and being able to enjoy the good memories and share them, that’s pretty awesome. Definitely qualifies as cool in my books, thanks!
Put on some headphones and de-stress to a seamlessly looped track of walking in the rain. No footsteps, music, etc. Just a stereo mic moving through an environment capturing exquisite aural details.
I’m not sure if it counts as underground (it’s been around for ages), but if you’ve never thought about how your shoelaces contribute to the overall fit and comfort of your shoe, I’d recommend giving Ian’s shoelace site a visit.
I never thought of that, and that’s actually really cool. thank you!

A website that gives you a different album to listen to everyday following the Book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Lets you find Twitch streams with no viewers, with support for category filtering, it’s a pretty interesting site.
Oh wow! Awesome to find the real ones out there that aren’t mad popular. They deserve all the love too.
Reminds me of StumbleUpon. An old way of sharing and finding content.
My blog where I talk about computer things https://alexdelorenzo.dev
Currently working on https://cast.firstbyte.dev
That’s a really cool project. I like your blog I’m going to bookmark it and subscribe to it. You seem really smart. I’ve been trying to dev and make projects work of mine for years with no luck (battle depression), but always happy to see people make awesome things and launch them. Will show all the love and support I can.

This was put together over a long period of time by my paragliding instructor and friend (former engineer for Canada’s space agency - still has a part he designed on the ISS on Canada’s robotic arm):
