Mike Borsare's personal hub is a quirky, ASCII-art-heavy dashboard featuring a personal blog, announcements, a 'prime doctrine' philosophy feed, and links to small projects like NHL 94, a dice roller, and a Trinitron-themed app. The retro terminal aesthetic, hotline webring membership, and open-source doctrine JSON give it the feel of a thoughtfully crafted personal OS built for the web.
https://starzrqp.neocities.org/
A charming early-stage Neocities personal page by starzrqp, decorated with 73 images including a Windows 95-style dialog box and old-web staples like webrings, neighbor links, and blinkies. The site is still under construction but already leans heavily into retro web aesthetics with handcrafted design elements and a 'Cool Sites' section.
https://dmitry.khlebnikov.net/2020/05/10/wrap-indicator-in-pre-blocks
Dmitry Khlebnikov's technical blog 'Mind Drops' features a deep-dive post on creating a pure CSS wrap indicator for code blocks, solving a responsiveness problem with PrismJS syntax-highlighted pre elements. The post walks through the author's custom CSS solution using div wrappers, pseudo-elements, and a clip trick, along with a bonus PrismJS plugin developed to integrate the approach.
http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/
A satirical but genuinely useful manifesto on readable web design, arguing that just 7 lines of CSS can dramatically improve any website's usability. The site covers practical typography tips like line-height, contrast, font size, and line-width, all delivered with deliberately crude humor.
https://ichi.city/
Ichi is a small, friendly web hosting community where users can create and share personal homepages in the spirit of the old indie web. The platform showcases a growing collection of member pages ranging from blogs and digital gardens to quirky personal sites, making it a cozy hub for creative self-expression online.

This site appears to be a minimal placeholder or under-construction page with virtually no visible content beyond a single image. There is not enough information to determine its topic, making it one of the emptiest shells in the old web.
https://bc323.neocities.org/
Buddy's BUDDYCORE323 is a hand-curated directory of favorite Neocities sites, complete with descriptions, content warnings, and recommendation blurbs for each featured page. Still under construction, the site's current primary purpose is pointing visitors toward other interesting corners of the indie web, making it a charming little launchpad for old-web exploration.
http://stpt.com/
Starting Point is a long-running web directory dating back to 1995, offering site listings and a submission form for adding new sites. The page is nearly bare of content, presenting little more than a shell of what was once a general-purpose web and business directory.
https://olu.online/
Olu Online is the personal blog of Olu, a tech ethics nerd, coder, and social justice advocate who writes about digital culture, solarpunk ideals, and the intersections of technology with society. Posts range from reflections on digital detoxes and social media dynamics to weekly notes, making it a thoughtful corner of the web for anyone interested in ethical tech and slow living online.
