About
I started keeping this list because my bookmarks in the browser have simply become too cluttered and I have often received comments like ‘How do you always find such cool videos/websites?’. Honestly, I can't really answer this question, but for everyone else: Here you go, a list of all my favourite free, interesting and entertaining websites.
Please note the information below:
- This is a private hobby project. I do not claim to list *every* great resource here.
- I cannot guarantee that all links will work forever, I cannot vouch for the safety, usefulness, timeliness, etc. of the linked resources.
- There is no advertising here, and no content is sponsored. All content has been selected because I personally like it, find it useful or entertaining. The content is therefore naturally based on my personal interests. But maybe there's something here that you'll like.
- That is why you will also find content that I have created myself. These are transparently flagged as “shameless-self-plug”.
More Stuff
(*・‿・)ノ⌒*:･ﾟ✧ There's more planned for the future: filters, a search function, a newsletter, a feature that lets you suggest a new treasure, ... ✧ﾟ･:⌒ヽ(・‿・*)
