This website is incredible if you are the type of person who LOVES knowing how things work. The link I posted is to his mechanical watch post, but go to his archive and look through his other content. Every topic is filled with a series of interactive elements that REALLY shows you how something works. I think his internal combustion engine post is awesome as well. If you like this kind of thing and want to support it, he has a patreon too.

I think that's about it; I tend to stick to the things I've been using daily, none of which are that small.

Why does the website literally look like shit? It wouldn't cost them any more energy to serve better CSS. Whose idea was brown on brown?

Looks like it's inspired by Solarized to me. I kinda like it actually, much better than black text on white.

I was about to make the same comment. It looks like my terminal.

neal.fun is probably sort of known because a lot of his individual sites have gone viral, but just look through the whole catalog, there's some amazing stuff in there
