Remember when you used to discover blogs like this ALL the time? Now you come across it because it's so uncommon. Like that site with the shoelaces that shows up here occasionally, the thing that is interesting is the author's dedication and passion to their craft, and indeed, that said passion is still actively updated.

Here is a search engine designed to find such pages: https://wiby.me.
I don't know what it is about most of these pages, but their design feels very old school (in a good way)!

Got me a little nostalgic, and it's such a joy to read pages just focussed on the content and absolutely nothing else.

The search results are sometimes bewildering, I guess search quality could be a little better. But on the whole, a lot of fun.

Thanks for sharing :-)

This is awesome please keep it going forever!
Man, I was a hardcore devotee of Ian's Shoelace Site years ago. The Ian Knot [0] has probably saved hours of my life by now.

Yea now most content is blog spam.
I love that site's like this exist. I wish I had enough focus to love one thing this much. Another one I like: https://liftblog.com
I miss those days. It seems like search engines are optimized to find ad-laden spam now.
