Might as well link to an open source alternative: https://riju.codes/

Fun fact: Whenever I want to remember the name of this project, I just look for it on the front page of https://hn.algolia.com thanks to one of the most upvoted HN posts of all time, "Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27424195

Obviously wikipedia.org. Nothing better has been invented in 20-some years. I honestly feel relief when I research some topic and it has Wikipedia page on it, so I don't need to dig through some sh**y blogposts

Edit: I mean: it's one of the very few websites that actually provides sources of information. It's insane it's that rare these days. And most important facts are just placed in visible and easy to spot place, no need to dig through author's life story, thanks for subscribers etc. before getting to the point.

Oh yeah, 2A forever. Found them in 1999-2000 (when I was 12 or 13 and first learning to code and such) and it was positively mind-blowing. v2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHbQmqmmIFk) and v3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWkNkQoQY_8) made me rethink everything, and I promptly switched focus to learning webdev over coding desktop apps. Those Flash days were fun, between 2A, Balthaser, DerBauer, etc. But yeah, 2A made me completely rethink media and interaction.

Go figure, I work on interactive web stuff and film stuff geared towards the web. I can still hear the first piece of music that would play in the background of 2A v2 in my head 20+ years later, and still occasionally listen to Eric's trance mixes on Soundcloud.
