Creative coding. Nolan (eieio) type people

$850 keyboard made from a solid brick of aluminum
Atlas of oblique maps. beautiful
Knowledge base for mathematics. Beautiful site
Design eng at cursor. Beautiful looking book
Artworks from the MoMA collection with a matching curation feature.
Smiths fan site. Interviews, magazine covers, photos.
RLM CLI. I had the thought to make this myself two weeks ago and thought id do it later. Goes to show that being quick is important
Trade distributor of independent publishers, kind of like a curated Amazon.
I love this kind of frameworking around writing. The diagrams are the point.
Tyler Cowen gets the direction. Book on the left, corpus-aware question answerer on the right.
By far the biggest pain for a no-code or bipoding system is the integrations. Cool to see Stripe is tackling this.
Brushes and fill effects on JavaScript canvases. Feels Tyler Hobbes-y.
Ottoman-era data visualizations from Cerîde-i Adliyye, “The Justice Gazette,”
Single purpose website. "A new, stupid website to find a piece of classical music whose duration most closely matches that of your next trip."
Single-purpose websites. This one shows a map of every crane in New York City.
Consistently, the most annoying thing about coding agents is the atrocious design they use. I haven't found a good system for getting consistently good design.
Finally a good "draw your changes here" editor. What GAUGan always promised to be.
Sometimes you see a company and wish you got there first. I had half of this infra (Vercel for agents) set up for myself. Why didn't I productize???
A search engine for NYC real estate using the city's unusually rich public data.
Future is self-service agents: Agents that sign up for themselves, have their own insurance, and operate entirely autonomously.
Other networks outside what's now called the internet.
Riley Walz on the labs team at OpenAI has a personal site with my favorite kind of niche single-purpose projects. Route shuffle generates random routes for runners and cyclists, and so on.
Seems like OpenClaw is opening up a lot of breadth-based internet searches, scraping so many things. Way more people are making way more scrapers, and I expect this to continue.
HyperCard in the browser. Original programming-for-everyone energy.
A late-90s catalog of bad interfaces.
The U.S. government's open-source design system. Surprisingly good.
An archive of over 90,000 Winamp skins. Internet folk art.
i have a friend working on something like this
