Crowd-sourced feed of well-made and gloriously pointless websites, and the closest thing left to a modern stumble button.
Opens in a new tab. We do not control this site and it may have changed since we catalogued it.
r/InternetIsBeautiful sits in Portals & Directories under Weird, and we have it filed as coffee break — five to fifteen minutes of proper attention. It reads as clever, useful and weird.
The other directories, random buttons and curated indexes. We are one of these; it would be dishonest to pretend the others are not worth your time.
The original boredom portal, still sorting thousands of time-wasters into categories with no discernible editorial filter.
Curated stumble button that sends you somewhere good rather than somewhere random, with categories if you are feeling fussy.
The volunteer-edited web directory that outlived DMOZ, still organising the internet into a category tree by hand.
Neal Agarwal's collection of interactive toys and explainers, every one of them built far better than it needed to be.
Hand-curated index of several thousand active blogs, sorted by subject, for when you want writing rather than a feed.
Hand-listed index of useless websites, sorted into categories so you can choose your waste of time rather than roll for it.
One button, escalating nonsense, and no way onward except pressing it again. Works on a phone, which is the danger.
One button, one random pointless website, no explanation offered or needed. The site that turned this whole genre into a genre.
