https://vecka.nu/ In Sweden, we use week-number quite often, but it is nowhere to be found in our calendar software, so, there is a webpage that just displays what week it is now, nothing else.. also: vecka = week nu = now

I always feel cognitively impaired for a few seconds when I am discuss some planing aspect with product managers, they all keep using week numbers as if that provided any form of intuition to other mortals.

hehe, came here to post the same page :-) I'm using it every week since in the software development project I'm in we're using week numbers for all planning. Fun fact for vecka.nu, the favicon is updated each week so as to show the number of the week.

Comedian Peter Serafinowicz's website for his character Brian Butterfield takes web design to the next level[1] /s

Sadly, the original website was taken down last year, but thanks to the Wayback Machine this masterpiece is still available to marvel at.

https://y-n10.com/ The website of the Nintendo founder's family office. It..is just beautifully designed, and a homage to the original game consoles and the entire art form of PC gaming when it started. Earlier thread on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26803201

Wow. What a site!

Man, if it were the early 2000's, I could give you a seemingly endless list of sites. There was a a network of sites like designiskinky, k10k, praystation, and many others that existed to curate, and showcase interesting websites. A lot of that creativity was due to graphic designers learning Flash, and putting up their experiments. A really interesting period of time.

Sadly, I don't really know of anything like that anymore. I'll run across a random Tumblr from time to time. Or, strike gold with a random Pintrest list. But, it's nothing like it used to be, in regards to out-of-the-box web design.
