One million (small web) screenshots

I’m curious how the choice of which blog is located next to which was made. The writeup mentions “dimensionality”. I found my blog, and the eight surrounding it are interesting people, but every one of them is an AI researcher with degrees from Berkeley or similar, and the sites are predominantly CVs.

Luminous company but not my level, nor is my blog about AI, nor is it a CV. I can’t see any reason for the location.

I found my own blog [0]. But interestingly, it is missing the letter I in screenshot starting from July 2025.

I started by finding my own blog and scrolling north, south, east, and west to see my neighbours. I’ve already found several interesting sites and a new person to follow on mastodon.

It’s a shame there doesn’t seem to be any way to link to a particular position on the map but great stuff nevertheless.

So good to see this different approach! The clustering looks really cool and love that the focus is not on the most popular websites.

Here’s another Christmassy alternative: https://display.archive.org/xmas

I’m one of the makers of OneMillionScreenshots.com and I’m currently working on an update to it.

There are many patches of almost-identical sites.

Some of them are due to many people using the same theme.

Some of them are expired or parked domains, which I reckon should be detected and excluded.

That's a lot of fun to explore. I'm not entirely convinced by the "you can judge a book by its cover" thing, there are so many "Hi, I'm _____" pages that might have content or might just be portfolio stubs.

Maybe can add a timeline and clock

Timeline: view older versions

Clock: view light/dark mode theme according to user time zone (or enable dark/light mode manually)

I'm also a bit curious, since most web pages are predominantly white, how many of them are adapted to dark mode?

i didn't know about onemillioscreenshots before but..

this is one of the coolest blogs i have ever read!

Shit, my blog is on there. I should post on it more frequently than once every two years.

My forum isn't, though. With a post every day or so and nearly 50 active users, it's probably not "small web" any more :-D
