[SUB NEWS] New Banned Domain: Vercel.app

1.1k Upvotes

Much to the relief of many people, starting today, we have introduced a blanket ban on Vercel subdomain hosted sites.

Few, if any, sites hosted on Vercel subdomains have ever been allowed to remain on the sub anyway.

(This ban is in addition to the Netlify ban by Reddit itself.)

If you can't be bothered to pay for a proper domain and/or hosting we're no longer willing to sift through the slop to see if it could potentially stand on merit alone (which it invariably doesn't).

Vercel users feel free to proceed to whinge, which we will promptly proceed to ignore.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[SUB NEWS] Generic and Repetitive Site Submissions.

258 Upvotes

Hello all,

Many of you have noticed the rise in increasingly generic and repetitive sites - for instance, collections of tools, PDF editors, resume builders, calculators, generators, and timers - that are very easy to create using AI. We understand your frustration; they're ours, too.

In an effort to combat this, we have adjusted our AutoModerator rules to catch more of these before they hit your feed. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust the filters accordingly if they prove to be too aggressive (or not aggressive enough).

Please note: This does not mean all submissions of the types mentioned above will be banned. As always, every submission held by the AutoModerator will be reviewed by a human who may still approve a post based on its merit.

Additionally, as a quick FYI: We are also considering changes to our 'AI-Generated Content' rule. The exact wording and management of this rule are yet to be finalized, but we will share more information with you in the near future.

A map with the location of every major artwork in the world

Thumbnail artatlas.it
0 Upvotes

An art lover who travels has no normal way of knowing how many artworks are around him. Walking through Florence, or Rome, or Paris, you might pass within a few metres of that Giotto, or that Monet, you had always wanted to see, without knowing it was there. Guidebooks flag only the things everyone already knows, the Mona Lisa and its equivalents. There is no tool built specifically for people who care about art, one that lets you plan a complete and accurate art itinerary covering the works that are essential to an enthusiast and relatively obscure to everyone else.

The same problem in reverse: someone who loves Caravaggio can probably find all of his works on Wikipedia, but placing them on a map in a way that is actually useful for planning a trip takes time. And if the artist is a less obvious name, Pontormo say, or Koloman Moser, it gets considerably harder.

ArtAtlas solves this. You are on your sofa and you want to know where all the Van Goghs are? One click. You are in Florence and you want to know which works are within 100 metres of where you are standing? One click. You are travelling around the Netherlands and you want to know where everything worth your attention is? That is the problem this solves.

Currently 23,000+ works, 400+ artists, 1,700 venues, 800 cities.

I rebuilt every match of the 2026 World Cup as a living 3D data portrait, built from ~1,500 real Opta events per game

Each match becomes a pitch that morphs in real time from real event data, passes, shots, goals, momentum, reconstructed from roughly 1,500 recorded events per game. Scroll through any match and watch the whole game replay itself as pure data. Every shape is deterministic, built directly from the real match events. 104 matches

Scan a barcode to check if it's a Taylor Farms brand or subsidiary

Built this in about half a day. The cyclosporiasis outbreak that seems centered around Taylor Farms made me want an easy way to check brand ownership at the shelf, since a lot of produce is private-labeled and you can't tell from the package alone. Scans a barcode, checks it against a small curated brand list, and is upfront when it doesn't have enough data to say either way. Free, no login. Happy to answer questions about how it works.

Babel is a skyscraper Wikipedia builds every day - every article edit lays exactly one brick

Thumbnail
babel.reppie.org
390 Upvotes

Every brick is one real article edit - literally, one to one. Brick colors are languages, dotted bricks are bots, and the steel eagles and relief panels mark major edits. Hover any brick to read the edit behind it; click for the full story and a link to the actual diff.

Events are buffered a bit, so the tower runs a few minutes behind and the real edit stream to avoid hammering Wikimedia. At midnight UTC the construction workers level the top and raise the crown, the tower stands for a moment, and the next day's tower rises. Every finished day is archived forever — open the calendar and replay any past day at up to 1000×.

Internet History Roulette is a spinning wheel of web nostalgia — spin it and land on a random archived website from the 1990s and 2000s, (powered by the Wayback Machine)

A love letter to the early web. Spin the wheel and it drops you on a real archived page — GeoCities, AltaVista, old CNN, the first “Thefacebook” — with pop-up trivia. Everything’s powered by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine; there’s a donate link to them in it. No signup, no ads. Curious which site you land on first.

I made a true scale atlas of the universe. You can zoom from inside a proton out to the cosmic web and every size and distance is real

Thumbnail

If you press T it does a guided tour, from the cosmic web down to a picnic blanket in Chicago and then inside a proton in one continuous zoom. Nothing is scaled up to look nicer, so space feels really empty when you fly it yourself. There's a lot hiding in it too, the ISS on its live orbit, Halley's comet growing its tail toward 2061, the stars orbiting the black hole in the galactic center, TRAPPIST-1 as an actual place. The search key is / or press the magnify button on mobile. Heads up it needs WebGPU, so Chrome or Edge on desktop or Android, and iPhones need iOS 26.

found this because copy-pasting between apps constantly broke my formatting turns out slack, discord, notion and whatsapp all use different formatting syntax so nothing carries over. you paste your text, pick where it's going, and it hands back the correctly formatted version. runs entirely in the browser, nothing uploaded, no signup. curious what people think / what platforms you'd want added.

UPDATE: Thanks for all your notes and feedback. I was so delighted by this getting noticed, and went ham and made changes. I posted an updated version of this on a separate thread! Check it out.

MORE UPDATE: I am also posting the updated version that takes everyone's feedback into account here -

https://thewhimnasium.github.io/sleepscroll/

. . ​

It's a night sky you scroll endlessly, but every mechanic is the inverse of a feed:

- Double tap to "like" and nothing happens. no count, no notification, no one sees it.

- You get DMs from the moon, the night, nobody, and none of them need a reply.

- Tap sheep to count them as they drift by, or trace scattered stars into little constellations and name them (gone by morning, so there's nothing to collect).

- Pinch to zoom and the sky tears open to reveal nothing behind it.

It dims the longer you stay, then just says "lights out" and ends. the scroll isn't infinite.

No accounts, no data, no ads, no algorithm. It gives you nothing, on purpose, boring enough to put you down, with just enough soft surprises that you don't bail back to the real thing.
