Version Museum

I built a similar site: https://theymadethat.com

The main differences are that 1. it's user editable, and 2. each version is an individual profile that can list creators and parts.

The UX / UI needs a major overhaul though. (Feel free to make any suggestions, and I'll try to address it)

I tend to treat it like my personal Pokemon collection. Every other week, I check out searches with no hits, and I add new entries based on them.

I also added some YC companies (and their founders & products) there just for fun. What's interesting is how incestuous the YC ecosystem is. From what I've seen with the data, the best way to get into YC as a founder is to work for a YC company.

The logo of this site is remarkably similar to that of the Internet Archive, which serves a similar purpose (in fact, much of the Version Museum content cites the Wayback Machine). For a moment I couldn't figure out if this was an official project of the Internet Archive or not. It does not appear to be.

It's missing the abandoned 2014 redesign of Facebook: https://dcurt.is/facebooks-predicament

Always interesting to see how fast things have changed in terms of how websites are designed.
