Cool Websites

These cool websites arrive one at a time, one per day. An editor finds each one, opens it and checks that it actually works, then writes a short review of what's there and why it's worth a visit. The result is less a random link dump and more a shelf of corners of the internet you'll want to come back to.

The range is wide on purpose. myNoise has hundreds of adjustable soundscapes, from an Irish coast to a D&D dungeon, each with sliders to build your own mix. The Library of Babel turns a Borges story into code: search any sentence and it's already on a shelf. Musicmap draws popular music as one giant family tree from the 1880s to the 2020s, Itiner-e maps the roads of the Roman Empire so you can plot a route like an ancient traveler, and Learning Synths by Ableton teaches envelopes, filters and oscillators by ear.

The collection keeps growing as new sites are added regularly. Bookmark the page and check back when you want something new to explore, learn from or simply play with for ten minutes.
