This was a great read, I enjoyed it very much – thanks for sharing!
It's also the first time I see this site. I've read a couple more articles on it and it looks nice, I like it. The writing is good and the material is interesting, and it's ad free on purpose. I pitched in a few dollars while I consider whether to subscribe. Again, thanks for sharing this nugget of gold!
Edit: fixed fat finger typos.
- Hasknewbie 9y agoDamn Interesting is, as far as I know, the original "collection of historical anecdotes" Web site in the vein of Atlas Obscura or Mental Floss. They've always favoured long-form, well-sourced articles, and they started doing it before it was cool and/or profitable -- the site was at one point left unmaintained for well over a year if I remember correctly. So yes, hats off to them for playing the long game, sticking to their formula, and not devolving into yet another ads-plagued list-icles Web site.
- MBCook 9y agoYep. At this point they also have a podcast which is the author reading the article and is a great lesson if you'd prefer to get it that way.
- rkuykendall-com 9y ago> the site was at one point left unmaintained for well over a year if I remember correctly Yes, once the book writing started, the site articles completely stopped. It felt like years to me, but have no evidence of that.
- vinnyglennon 9y agoIt's an excellent resource, one of my favourites. The facts, just the facts, well told.
