    www.5minute.games

    It’s a list of all the good word games, minigames and puzzles on the internet, and you can customize it to shortlist your favorites and even add new links. I go there every day to link to all my favorites.

    …oh, full disclosure: I built it. Though hopefully nobody minds, since there’s no ads or monetization whatsoever.

        Every step of the way has some new frustrating way to confound the user. I was laughing/crying halfway through the process because of how stupidly unfriendly the design was. Just brilliant. Whoever did this is an evil supergenius and/or heavily into BDSM.

      Anytime I get new shoes I go to Ian’s Shoelace Site to pick out a new lacing pattern.

      And Ian’s Secure Knot is a godsend for winter boots that usually have a bit thicker laces which come undone with a regular knot. Learning that knot is great because it’s as strong as double knotting without needing to pick apart the knot afterwards.

    I needed Unicode symbols for a story I’m working on. (I want to use them as “magic runes” so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard “runes” that are typically used.)

    Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It’s not exact so if there’s no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn’t considered but which worked nicely for my uses.

        I saw in a documentary that a few of the cult members were ordered to stay alive to keep the site up. Apparently you can email them and talk to them too.

        If by that you mean “I use Linux but can’t stand GIMP” then Pinta is pretty good as a simple photo editor. More advanced than Paint but not as unfriendly as GIMP. If you’re familiar with Paint.NET on Windows then you’ll feel right at home.

          I also used Pinta but don’t remember what worked for me, Pinta or Krita. I use one of them mostly for making icons transparent. I just thought I’d also drop JSPaint here, that was the first one I found.
