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.

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.
