Its a search engine that only indexes minimalist websites. Everything on there looks like its from the 90's.

It's harder to find but it still exists. The hardest part is finding the retroscape <communities> rather than individuals/people. For example, I can browse a lot of retro-ish early 2000's design sites on Neocities but it is difficult to call it much of a community. Same thing with mmm.page.

I'd love to find (or even make) a community for people who still enjoy the aesthetic of the amateur-crafted web.

Gemini protocol is lightweight alternative to HTTP which concentrates on the actual content (like Gopher).

I spent couple of nights just browsing random people’s pages and it felt like fresh air – and very reminiscient of the nineties web!

Give Gemini a try: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

The Lagrange browser is quite nice to browse Gemini: https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/

For anyone nostalgic for this type of old/weird internet, you should check out TikTok before it becomes too commercial/formalized. Still a lot of weird/random/raw stuff on there.

Try wiby.org, hit 'surprise me' a few times.

They should have built the site in Tailwind...

The Million Dollar Homepage is still up.
