[ WHAT IS WEIRDNET? ]

weirdnet is a HUMAN-EDITED map of the weird / small web — places you don't find through algorithmic feeds.

NO DASHBOARDS. NO GROWTH HACKS.

We try to preserve the memory of the old internet and the people who helped build it — the dreamers, the tinkerers, the ones who put books and art and weird ideas online before “content” was a business. This place is a small tribute to that spirit: human-curated, stubbornly low-tech, and here for whoever still cares.

LATEST BROADCAST FROM WEIRDNET HQ

2026-07-30
Quick word from the back room. We've been building a search engine for the
indieweb, the kind that goes looking for the good weird corners on its own
instead of waiting for one of us to file them by hand. It's early days and we
won't oversell it, but we're grinning about this one more than we probably
should.

No screenshots today, no launch date, no big reveal. Just know there's real
news coming over the next few months, and it'll be properly independent.
Indie-pendent, if you'll let us.

While you wait, come poke at our awesome-indieweb list on GitHub. Star it if
it's any use to you, and if you know a site or a feed or a tool that belongs
there, send it over. That list only gets better when people who actually care
throw things at it.

RANDOM PORTAL

DESTINATION UNKNOWN — 37,327 PORTALS INDEXED

no algorithm, pure chaos. press the button and go somewhere strange.

HEADS UP: some of these sites are dead, half-dead, abandoned, or haunted. Everything here was picked by hand, by a human, with a mouse — no crawler, no algorithm, no quality assurance department. If a link rots, that's just the web breathing. We are not even slightly sorry.

Made by Pablo Murad, since 1987 — no rights reserved.

Technology should feel alive, humane, and a little strange.

88x31 buttons, the calling cards of the old web — real GIFs from the dabamos / textfiles archives.
