What's a favorite website of yours that's got a relatively narrow focus? (self.askbeehaw)

Whether you found it on a recommendation from others or on your own, we've likely encountered small corners online that delight us. One person or small team blogs that are surprisingly insightful, web apps or games that have been go-to's for ages, showcases and exhibits on a specific yet curious niche, striking art pieces.

Do you have any favorite websites that loosely fall in this grouping? What about it is delightful to you?

I'll give a couple personal examples that come to mind to get things started:

  • The Vidya Interweb Playlist: A relatively well-designed music player that exclusively plays music from a load of videogames. I can't remember how exactly I found this, but I have some good memories of it being a sizeable part of my soundtrack to my middle school years.
  • The Web Design Museum: A showcase of how various websites have evolved over the years. I think it's cool to see how things have developed with changing tech and changing tastes.

Ian's Shoelace Site. His secure knot is a little tricky to learn (at least it was for me) but this and his fast knot are now my favorite ways to tie my boots. I especially love his detailed analysis of the various knots and lacing methods.

Oh and this German fan-site to the X games comes to my mind. What I like most about it, is the fact that it's still up and running after so many years. I first encountered it when I played X2 and was, maybe, 14 and it's still there and one of the few places where you can get good information about this game series.
