Loadmo.re: design inspiration for unconventional web
- sp4cec0wb0y 1y agoDoes anyone have an aggregate of websites like these? I love this type of content (I am a shit designer and want to get better).
- trallnag 1y agoYou mean an aggregate of aggregation websites?
- sp4cec0wb0y 1y agoYes. :)
- trallnag 1y agoMakes me think of all the higher-order awesome lists on GitHub
- QuantumNomad_ 1y agoDon’t forget Wikipedia! :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists
- lioeters 1y agoAwesome list of awesome lists. https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
- gregsadetsky 1y agoa few more sites (rather than aggregators): - https://cargo.site/templates/samples-specimens https://cargo.site/templates/samples-specimens and https://cargo.site/templates https://cargo.site/templates in general (scroll down and then scroll horizontally to see a lot more) - https://html.energy/html-day/2025/index.html https://html.energy/html-day/2025/index.html - a few inspiring friends and friends of friends: https://julipode.net/ https://julipode.net/ , https://katarinamazur.com/ https://katarinamazur.com/ , https://kotc.life/ https://kotc.life/ , https://suneinyneeenan.github.io/Enhydrax/ https://suneinyneeenan.github.io/Enhydrax/

- Bengalilol 1y agoTry this https://www.are.na/trudy-painter/cool-websites-yj6tfjbuhp8 https://www.are.na/trudy-painter/cool-websites-yj6tfjbuhp8 From there, you either find single websites, or other people's lists of websites they like. It is random walk down a rabbit hole, but quite entertaining (and inspiring).
- trudypainter 1y agoomg thanks!! <3
- ChrisArchitect 1y agoironic that I can't get to the bottom of the home page to read the about/subscribe/submit, because it keeps loading more sites in
- trallnag 1y agoGood for the site engagement metrics
- stronglikedan 1y agoespecially considering they actually have inputs for suggesting a website and signing up for their newsletter (that can't be filled out)
- whilenot-dev 1y agoA pretty unconventional way to prevent more than 1000 submissions, I guess.
- justusthane 1y agoFound this on there, which is really neat: https://slingshot.trudy.computer/ https://slingshot.trudy.computer/
- jsiegz 1y agoThat's Trudy! https://www.trudy.computer/ https://www.trudy.computer/
- trudypainter 1y agothank u for playing!
- justusthane 1y agoI found https://gizmo.party/ https://gizmo.party/ via your site, which I am also very much enjoying! Very fun use of vibe-coding, which I’ve been overall pretty resistant to. Although I do wish it wasn’t such a black box — I wish the code for the gizmos could be examined, exported, or embedded elsewhere.
- beingforthebene 1y agoIt took me a while to figure out what this is even supposed to be. Visiting from a computer with no webcam displays a confusing site.
- noyesno 1y agoHow I miss Kaliber 10000 (aka k10k), Design Is Kinky, Pixel Surgeon etc. https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/kaliber10000-2003 https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/kaliber10000-2003
- creamyhorror 1y agok10k was truly legendary
- notsahil 1y agoWow every preview is screen recored on iPhone
- AuthAuth 1y agoRespect to the people making these and some are really cool but damn these sites make me appreciate conventional web design.
- lampiaio 1y ago[flagged]
- jama211 1y agoAll this amazing art and stuff on this site and all you could do was find something nitpicky to complain about? Sure says a lot…
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoIt says that UX matters even when doing art.
- memonkey 1y agoUX matters when doing art = pen, paper, paint. But UX does not matter when experiencing art. OP is entitled to feel nit picky and pissy and a critic because of the normal way they experience the web. It does not mean his critique matters.
- yellowapple 1y agoUX may not matter to you when experiencing art, but it certainly matters to me when experiencing art. A lack of care for whether or not the art is actually accessible to its audience makes it indistinguishable from the pretentious “avant garde” slop that exists primarily to allow “art dealers” to launder money. Even worse, this website is less analogous to the art itself and more analogous to an art gallery, which means that now my perception of the art being showcased is now unfairly negative through no fault of the actual art on display. If I'm trying to view some painting at the Louvre only for the curator to jump in front of me and say “Wait! Do you really want to view that painting or do you want a notecard saying where it is?”, damn straight am I going to be annoyed as all hell at such antics, and it's going to ruin my experience through no fault of the actual artist.

- AfterHIA 1y agoThis is not unconventional-- this is the conventional web I want. I want the internet to be a groovy place again. Rave on ravers.
- jadbox 1y agoIt is neat, but personally I'm not wild about it. Most of these examples are terrible for accessibility needs, and otherwise a frustration if you visited to find specific information. I do appreciate the novelty though.
- AfterHIA 1y agoI think that it might be good-- taking a queue from the legacy of, "markup is separated from presentation" that sites that display information in a straightforward way should be, "boring and accessible as fuck" where, "conveying abstract information" should be, "inspiring." I feel like we can have our cake and eat it too.
- aho15 1y agoNot sure if I'm with you on this one. I see what you mean but I also have a hard time to understand what's going on on these sites. So in my eyes these are quite exactly what the author called it. Unconventional. However I like the idea of getting these concepts shown and shared just to see what could might work or what causes a lot of attention.
- dylan604 1y agoreminds me of early Flash days where everyone was so excited about not having to use tables/frames/etc and started making "organic" sites instead of structured sites. so usability was neat and interesting, others were outright confusing. weird styles have their place, but people like to follow trends and use weird styles when it is not appropriate. these tend to feel like square pegs in a round hole.

- benjaminclauss 1y agoHow do I submit https://taylor.town/ https://taylor.town/?
- kroaton 1y agoI think you just did.
- Theodores 1y agoI get the idea but these feel like those demoscene things people make for really old 8-bit computers. What I am looking for is inspiration for presenting some actual content, for example, stories with a beginning, middle and end, with meaningful call to action forms and text that is designed to be read rather than 'shapes on a page'. I am not dismissing what goes on here, or even the demoscene, it is great to see. However, I think that people are struggling to read these days, so lots of text, no matter how well presented, is just not what people read. How do you get people totally absorbed without it being video or a game? I understand the UX of the UK government websites where information is presented very clearly and is engaging (if you need to do something to do with health, taxes and whatnot). But this super-clear approach doesn't convey that an immense amount of effort has been spent on presentation. I am also bored of normal Wordpress style websites with the tedious carousels and whatnot, Squarespace fits this 'yawn' style too. Although I did not find a website to be deeply engaged in with loadmo.re, I am inspired and impressed. There is much to borrow from here and many 'experiments' that are trying to do things new. Props to the site maintainer for doing the research to find these 'diamonds (in the rough)'.

- gregoriol 1y agoUnconventional as in "you can't disable Google Analytics cookies from the cookie banner"?
