-
Make chiptunes in the browser by painting notes on a grid. The song lives in the URL; share the link and you have shared the song.
-
MIDI files, searchable and playable, of every song you have ever heard rendered in a 1990s soundcard's idea of a saxophone. For the background music your page deserves.
-
Custom cursors for your page, by the thousand, in every category from 'anime' to 'nature'. The site that changed every visitor's mouse in 2006 and still can.
-
Free fonts, sorted by mood: horror, pixel, graffiti, 'cartoon'. A page needs one too many fonts; this is where they came from.
-
Paste a paragraph; it highlights the long sentences, the adverbs, the passive voice. Then ignore half of it, as he would have.
-
HTML and CSS tutorials from beginner to intermediate, short and plain, the way they were written when everyone was a beginner.
-
MS Paint from 1998, remade in the browser with care, down to the spray can and the misbehaving text tool.
-
Palettes, tutorials and tools for pixel art. Pick a palette with 16 colors and a name like 'Sweetie'; everything will look better.
-
The reference for HTML, CSS and JavaScript. When your page does something strange, the answer is here and it is usually your fault.
-
A reverse dictionary: describe the meaning, get the word. Also a thesaurus that knows about 'the feeling of a place you are about to leave'.
-
Where words came from, in short entries with dates. 'Nice' used to mean foolish; read the whole story before using it on someone.
-
A browser sequencer with a piano roll and a few dozen instruments, where people post their songs and remix each other's.
-
A page for every book ever published, and a lot of them readable. The Internet Archive's lending library.
-
A free pixel-art editor with animation frames and onion skin, in the browser. Sprites for your game, icons for your page.
-
Seventy thousand public-domain books, free, in every format, since 1971. The oldest digital library and the one with the least fuss.
-
Rhymes, near rhymes, and everything a lyric or a limerick needs, since 1996.
-
Tracker music by the hundred thousand, from the Amiga era onward: .mod, .xm, .it, .s3m. The soundtrack of every demo and keygen, archived and playable.
