The IndieWeb Atlas

Retro

Personally, I've got little appreciation for nostalgia. But sometimes, the old ways really were better - or at least fun to play with! This section is a collection of homages to days gone by.

Weatherstar 4000+

Type in your zip code and see real weather updates in the style of the '90s Weather Channel Local on the 8s. Comes complete with classic Weather Channel jazz.

The Frutiger Aero Archive

Large collection of graphic assets and wallpapers in the style of Frutiger Aero. Also includes music, video, history, and other topics related to Frutiger Aero.

My Retro TVs

Watch thousands of clips from old TV shows, commercials, music videos, and more, divided by decade. Each decade uses a UI resembling a TV from the time. You can filter the types of clips you want to see and surf channels to find them!

PCjs Machines

Recreates old operating systems and other software in your browser for you to explore and play with.

Winamp Skin Museum

An uncountable collection of winamp skins. Includes resources for using them yourself.

Protoweb

A living, interactive museum meant to preserve both the websites and the experience of the 1990s internet.

NoClip

This website lets you zoom around old 3d videogame levels. It's a ton of fun to poke your nose around places you weren't meant to see.

Apollo in Real Time

Experience the Apollo missions, as they happened, in real time. Honestly, I'm getting emotional just knowing this exists.

Retrobar

A simple application which changes the modern Windows taskbar and start menu to an older version, with some added customization. I don't have any particular nostalgia for the Windows XP UI, but wow is it more readable and useable than the default Windows 11 UI.

Macintosh Garden

An archive of abandonware for old Macintosh systems, including both games and software. There are quite a few of these old software archives and I may add more as I find them.

The First Website

It's the first website. Doesn't get more digi-retro than that.

Lava Lamp 3D

Last copyright 2004, Last update 2008... I haven't tried downloading the actual executable but it shows a 3D model of a lava lamp, presumably with customization options.
