One million (small web) screenshots

I started by finding my own blog and scrolling north, south, east, and west to see my neighbours. I’ve already found several interesting sites and a new person to follow on mastodon.

It’s a shame there doesn’t seem to be any way to link to a particular position on the map but great stuff nevertheless.

So good to see this different approach! The clustering looks really cool and love that the focus is not on the most popular websites.

Here’s another Christmassy alternative: https://display.archive.org/xmas

I’m one of the makers of OneMillionScreenshots.com and I’m currently working on an update to it.

There are many patches of almost-identical sites.

Some of them are due to many people using the same theme.

Some of them are expired or parked domains, which I reckon should be detected and excluded.

Teeming masses of sites using what probably seems to the authors as a fresh, unconventional look but ends up being Yet Another.

I doubt anyone selecting a popular theme is confused by the fact that it’s popular. I use the default Mediawiki theme for mine, for instance.

That's a lot of fun to explore. I'm not entirely convinced by the "you can judge a book by its cover" thing, there are so many "Hi, I'm _____" pages that might have content or might just be portfolio stubs.

Maybe can add a timeline and clock

Timeline: view older versions

Clock: view light/dark mode theme according to user time zone (or enable dark/light mode manually)

I'm also a bit curious, since most web pages are predominantly white, how many of them are adapted to dark mode?

Shit, my blog is on there. I should post on it more frequently than once every two years.

My forum isn't, though. With a post every day or so and nearly 50 active users, it's probably not "small web" any more :-D
