For comparing image compression quality, I really like Squoosh.
That web design museum is awesome. Thanks!
For choosing colors that are easier to read / more accessible, I like Myndex's APCA contrast calculator.
I love to garden, and when a few years ago I moved from a cool humid climate to the drier hotter inland southern California, it was quite the learning curve. I found Greg Alder's Yard Posts, a small blog of a guy who loves to garden and lives in nearly the same climate. His tips on pruning, pest management, and what to plant when were so helpful.
Ubuweb has a huge archive of video, music, and poetry from mostly the 20th century avant garde. It’s a great site to just aimlessly explore. In some ways this website isn’t narrow at all, but I think it probably appeals to a pretty narrow group of people. https://www.ubu.com/index.html
Not exactly what you're asking about, but this may help you find the type of websites you're asking about. https://search.marginalia.nu/
This is pretty slick and definitely up my alley. I love how it's got a Random feature—makes it a lot easier to do the kind of websurfing that makes this stuff fun. I'm gonna spend some time checking this out 👀.
Rainwave.cc is kinda like the link you posted but for remixes of gamemusic, mostly from Overclocked Remix, which I've been on since like, 2004 or something haha. I use it all the time!
Oh hey, thanks for listening. :)
https://tedium.co has been a great read for me for a few years. They often cover in detail topics that many would consider mundane. Also, https://computer.rip/ has a bunch of posts that are good short reads, especially if you like telephony. https://midnight.pub/ is a small but fascinating community.
Ian's Shoelace Site. His secure knot is a little tricky to learn (at least it was for me) but this and his fast knot are now my favorite ways to tie my boots. I especially love his detailed analysis of the various knots and lacing methods.
Nicky Case's website. Nicky makes very interesting interactive content that can help visualize concepts like vicious cycles, anxiety, trust and much more. Author of cool stuff that you may have seen on youtube before, like Evolution of Trust.
Nicky is fucking awesome!
vndb, best tagging system on the planet, I wish every media database had thish much possibility
I looove me a great tagging system and library. It looks like this site also makes use of subtags, tag definitions, and a finely robust search system. It's the kind of stuff that I never realize how much I appreciate it until I don't have it somewhere. I wish every database and file system was built to allow this kind of robustness.
kinda strange that Certain Major OS file explorers aren't as thorough as this right out of the box, come to mention it 🤔

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
Thanks for the laws of UX! I totally need to share that at work. It’s a really well done site with good info.
