🌀 Weird pick of the week
An infinitely zooming collaborative painting that never stops falling inward. Dozens of artists stitched their work into one seamless, hypnotic descent. Full-screen it, put on music, lose track of time.
✨ Fresh arrivals
A virtual whiteboard with a hand-drawn feel. Sketch diagrams, wireframes, and flowcharts, collaborate live, and export to PNG or SVG. Runs entirely in the browser and drawings stay local unless you share them.
A full image editor in your browser that opens PSD, XCF, Sketch, and RAW files. The interface mirrors Photoshop closely enough that muscle memory just works. Free to use; a paid tier removes the sidebar ad.
Press the space bar to generate color palettes until one clicks. Lock the colors you like, adjust shades, check contrast, and export to hex, CSS, or an image. Fast enough to be addictive.
Build and debug regular expressions with live matching, an explanation panel that decodes every token, and a searchable reference. Supports PCRE, JavaScript, Python, and more flavors.
Type a cron expression and see it translated into plain English, with the next scheduled runs. The fastest way to double-check that '0 4 * * 2' means what you think it means.
🎲 The shuffle
A recency-leaning random dig through the catalog — different every visit.
Describe a song — genre, mood, subject — and get a full track with vocals in under a minute. Free daily credits with an account; paid tiers add commercial rights.
Move your mouse, wait a beat, and a stranger in a photo points exactly at your cursor. That's it. That's the site. Somehow it never stops being funny.
Choose a password that follows the rules. The rules keep coming, contradict each other, and eventually involve chess puzzles and a chicken. A perfect little piece of interactive absurdity.
A dense grab-bag of puzzle-solving utilities beloved by puzzlehunt teams: anagram and pattern solvers, cipher decoders, wordplay searches, and stranger machines. Paste a fragment and try everything at once.
Paste your draft and it highlights dense sentences, passive voice, and needless adverbs, then grades readability. The free web editor works without an account; the desktop app costs extra.
An endlessly expanding isometric animation of floor 796 of a giant space station, drawn frame by frame by one artist. Thousands of tiny scenes and pop-culture easter eggs. Scroll forever.
Send files up to 2 GB free without creating an account: upload, get a link, share it. Paid plans add bigger transfers, storage, and password protection.
Upload a song and AI splits it into vocals and instrumental in about a minute. Also pitch-shifts, changes tempo, and cuts ringtones. Free, no account required.
Spin a 3D globe and tune into live radio anywhere on Earth — lo-fi from Jakarta, talk radio from Reykjavik, cumbia from Bogotá. No sign-up: click a green dot and listen.
Drag your cursor and luminous symmetric threads bloom across the dark. Interactive generative art that makes everyone feel like a visual artist for five minutes.
Get dropped somewhere on Street View and figure out where you are from road signs, vegetation, and vibes. A free account gets you real play; subscribing unlocks unlimited games and competitive modes.
A hypnotic animated globe of live wind, ocean currents, and air quality, rendered from real forecast data. Drag to spin, scroll to zoom, and lose ten minutes watching the planet breathe.
