The internet is boring. All the good stuff is buried in the search engines. I found: https://kagi.com/smallweb which is worth a browse. Submit your cool websites/blogs here in a comment and share some underground web. In the name of fun.

I guess ‘cool’ depends on personal interest and circumstances.
A house move likely prevents running our Aussie Halloween this year, after being featured on State TV news last year, but I would like to share past family/friends efforts to establish a fun spooky celebration, in circumstances where locally there is not an established tradition, originating because my daughter in-law grew up in North Carolina and she and my eldest son moved here at the height of the pandemic, so I have adopted Halloween as a way to incorporate her fond childhood memories into our local family and local Aussie community traditions, with the help of family members and many talented friends: https://scarymandercove.au/
That is cool! Right on. It’s all about making good memories and being able to enjoy the good memories and share them, that’s pretty awesome. Definitely qualifies as cool in my books, thanks!

Gemini is pretty neat. Is like an alternative internet, powered by only text and basic formatting. There’s lots of small blogs and webrings on there.
I’ve been trying to get into Gemini for a while now. There site aggregators and everything, but I’ve yet to find something personally engaging.
“This will be my Gemini homepage one day!” on 90% of them
https://beaks.live is my contribution to the nonshittified web.
Lets you find Twitch streams with no viewers, with support for category filtering, it’s a pretty interesting site.
Oh wow! Awesome to find the real ones out there that aren’t mad popular. They deserve all the love too.

I’m not sure if it counts as underground (it’s been around for ages), but if you’ve never thought about how your shoelaces contribute to the overall fit and comfort of your shoe, I’d recommend giving Ian’s shoelace site a visit.
I never thought of that, and that’s actually really cool. thank you!
