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.

It's an incredibly simple premise - the main menus for all of the Halo games, preserved in their high quality, original forms. I love putting it up in the background when I need some background noise, but every so often I'll get lost in my nostalgia with it.

Oh man this is amazing. I'm especially surprised that Halo 3 Mythic is in since it's main menu soundtrack is huge.
