I've been browsing the web for a long time, back when it was still a wild west to hike into and explore. And while I haven't always kept around all the amazing websites I've encountered, I've kept that yearning to find more weird, beautiful and/or interesting places.
So here are some of the ones since I've started collecting them again, for you to find and explore, and hopefully for people to link back here in the same way.
It's a bit empty for now but it'll come, this is still a work in progress.

Henry’s digital garden. Amazing website with a lots of really cool content and links, and an incredible design that never ceases to be as interesting as what it wraps

Lea Verou’s website. My oldest inspiration on the Internet, and one that I’ve seen grow even more over the years. Particularly love all her work around colors and CSS, and I use her syntax highlighting on this site!

Katherine Yang’s digital garden. Fascinated by her work fusing poetry and programming. Also love her Links page being actual embeds like a tapestry of other places

Anh’s digital garden. Love especially the different iterations that still live in it throughout the pages, weaved into each other. Lots of fun concepts

Lizbeth’s digital garden. An absolutely gorgeous and fascinating personal website, that shines through her creator’s art and various endeavours. My personal favorite is the lofi filter on the images which really create a completely different experience.
