Websites and Tools
The Applications section over at 🖥️Hardware and Software has some applications that run in browser!
🌟 Topsters
Create those nice looking favorite album charts. (or games, books, movies, shows, anything really)
OpenTierBoy
Custom Tier List creator. Open source.
🌟 Lichess
Free (mostly) open-source Chess engine. A lot of people even prefer it to chess.com, despite that being paid.
KidPix
A port of KidPix to browser.
🌟 MonkeyType
Test keyboards and your WPM. - Typeracer: If you prefer to race passages against others in real time, then check out Typeracer!
🌟 Catbox.moe
A nice, free, minimum bullshit image and file cloud. Also check out Litterbox for hosting files which are temporary in nature and can just be deleted whenever.
🌟 Filmot
Search for YouTube videos by their transcripts.
OP for trying to find that one moment or video you have no idea how to begin searching for.
As a tip: Replace any swears with #FUCK#. This is regardless of the word, its always #FUCK# specifically, even if it’s actually “shit”, for example. This is due to transcript censorship on YouTube’s end.
- NLQuotes
Search transcripts of Northernlion vids and VoDs. Supported by The Librarian.
MyTime.io
Converts to your local timezone as based on the url. You can format the url as something like mytime.io/13:00/PT or mytime.io/1pm/PT to have 1pm PT converted into your timezone automatically. It’ll give the correct time for anyone connecting. Be sure to turn off your VPN.
When2Meet
Geared towards scheduling events with others, see when your free time overlaps.
ASCII Art Archive
Nice little ASCII site. Has my favorite ASCII generators, drawing tools, and more.
Neal.fun
Cool little distractions by a guy named Neal.
Spellcheck, a word game
Spelling bee browser game, its neat
Bingosync
Lets you create collaborative bingo-boards with others. The primary use case for this is videogame challenges, particularly using the lockout mode. Though I recommend this mod if you want to do this with Minecraft.
Fur Finder
Online tool to find fur fabrics by arbitrary color. Automatically gives a number of close matches for a given selected color anywhere on the color spectrum from a number of faux fur vendors for fursuits, or anything else that you’d use fur fabric on. Can even use particular hex codes. Lab matching, advanced filters, and color entry. Note that hex probably isn’t going to translate directly into real materials well, since hex is mostly a digital thing. Regardless, great tool for finding specific colors.
Keygenmusic
Website that hosts a ton of music used in various keygen programs. Very fun!
PetPet
Tool for creating those petting gifs memes.
Quartz
What i used to make this site! Its basically tool that generates static-sites from markdown text. If you want a front-end for writing markdown text in, check out Obsidian.md in 🖥️Hardware and Software
24/7 Programming
OldTimeyComputerShow
Curated showcase of video tapes and films about computers and video games, from the 20th century. Covers history, promotional material, competitions, tutorials, computer art, and other ephemera.
🌟 SaltyBet
Lets you place bets on live competitive events, though is usually running randomized CPUvCPU matches in MUGEN. During MUGEN, characters are moved into brackets that roughly reflect their strength, so its never clear exactly who will win. You can only gamble fictional currency associated with saltybet, so its all just for fun :)
TwitchPlaysPokemon
Stream that plays Pokemon games, but Twitch chat is controlling the inputs. Always running something. Sometimes its a mainline game, sometimes its chat playing 2p battle revolution with bets, sometimes romhacks. Nothing will be as iconic as the first TPP, but its still a cool novelty nonetheless.
🌟 RadioGarden
Explore live radio from around the world online. I recommend checking out their tabs in the sidebar, they highlight some interesting stuff. - UK stations restrict access: unblock, 2, or use a VPN - Highlights I Like: - datafruits.fm In Seattle. a cooperatively owned and operated free-form net radio station reated by and for fans of internet radio and netlabels, with little to no curation. crowdfunded and ad-free. Their website is also pawsome - aNONradio.net In Seattle. Literally “a non radio”, since they’re a non-commercial, non-profit net ‘radio’ station. Note that the station is an open-mic for all members of the SDF Public Access UNIX System Community - vintageobscura.net In New York. Highlights “forgotten” music. Everything featured has less than 30k views on youtube at the time of discovery and were released before 96’
FmStream
Another huge FM radio directory, ready to stream right into your browser.
Soma.fm
Crowdfunded and ad-free multi-stream internet radio station. They have a bunch of different genres and stuff to choose from, so just explore.
FMHY’s Live TV section
A list of places to watch live cable television for free. Not linking to any of them specifically because they often go down, just use any that are starred. I like Boomerang :)
Funcube
A random stream of stuff running 24/7 with an IRC chat to the side Clearly by a y2k nostalgia-head (based). Unfortunately kinda better than Boomerang and the disgrace that is the modern Nicktoons channel.
Radio Plus Anime Super Go
“Rare Anime and Science Fiction, Sounds, Soundtracks, Filk music, comedy, and more, streaming from my private collection, done in the style of a VIRTUAL RADIO STATION!” Radio station ran by Jennifer Diane Reitz, whom you may know if you’re into outsider artists for being the writer of Pastel Defender Heliotrope, Unicorn Jelly, or her prolific works in The Conversion Bureau, as well as the designer of Boppin’ for the amiga. its basically just a collection of stuff she likes. Silly, autistic, fun. That’s the best way i can explain it. Makes me nostalgic randomly and unexpectedly.
Health and Wellness
Transgender
It is never too late.
Transfeminine Science
Site dedicated to sharing information relating to gender-affirming transfeminine hormone (replacement) therapy (HRT). The articles on this site are wiki-esque living documents, and hence may be updated, expanded, and improved over time. It should be noted that not anyone can edit or add information to the site.
diyhrt.info
Do It Yourself Hormone Replacement Therapy information. Both feminizing and masculinizing hormone replacements are covered. Especially useful if the system is failing you (underdosing, gatekeeping, waitlisting, potentially even banning, if SCOTUS decides to be particularly evil soon), but even barring that, it’s an alternative to be considered to give you more control over your transition and possibly even save you some dosh. Also just a good resource for learning about hrt and it’s effects in general (which you really ought to do. Most doctors do not have the time or need to research the ins and outs of transition, and are… safe but surprisingly very ignorant). - old site
🌟 hrt.cafe
A repo of reputable distributors to buy DIY HRT from. Both feminizing and masculinizing hormone replacements are covered. If they’re not reputable, they don’t get on the list. Yes, its safe.
Other Health
TheraminTrees
YouTube channel explores issues around abuse, manipulation, dogma, and systems of undue influence. Hosted by a licensed therapist. He’s a problematic fav of mine. Can be a bit ablest here and there and clearly has religious trauma, but nonetheless: Life-changing stuff inside.
Erowid
Website dedicated to harm-reduction and education for a number of drugs. Includes sitable and non-sitable information (such as personal experiences, opinion pieces, media writings, etc., etc.)
Just The Recipe
Paste in a recipe from a recipe site and remove all of their bullshit life stories and clutter.

Tom Scott’s Weekly Newsletter
Semi-retired travel blogging YouTuber Tom Scott curates stuff he likes He basically just compiles stuff he enjoys from YouTube, various articles, and whatever else. If you think you’d like Tom’s taste, I think this newsletter is nice to have. Unshackle yourself from The Algorithm, or whatever. Personal curation is a beast. Sometimes unsubscribes me, which is annoying.
Undertale / Deltarune Newsletter
Where Toby Fox posts updates to UT/DR If you subscribe at the Super or higher tier, you’ll also get to see basically anything Toby works on, which is very nice. Extremely rarely the newsletter will send out cryptic and secret newsletters to only a fraction of subscribers, so I recommend you subscribe to roll the dice at that if you’re into Toby’s work :)
Nicky Case’s Newsletter
Nicky Case is an extremely talented individual making cool stuff online This newsletter is extremely infrequent, but regardless Nicky makes a ton of important and great stuff. I recommend exploring her site and blog, you may recognize some of her work. - Archive doesn’t have everything, Blog has more - She also serves an RSS feed, and this is a great writeup on the advantages of RSS as well.
