What, just what?

I second this. I was taken to a whole host of frankly terrible sites, most of which were broken or even suspicious looking.

This looks like all the URLs https://github.com/vedipen/awesome-website/blob/e46bb314b383...

Also reminds me of early 2000s kind of content

This feels like the product of a basic coding test. Which is fine, and if so well done. But I was hoping for something more.

I clicked four times, hoping that it would get better. Three of those four were distinctly un-awesome, and felt a bit dated - “ihasabucket.com”, really? Hello 2008 - and one of them wouldn’t load.

It would probably have been more interesting if you said what criteria are used to determine the “awesomeness” of the sites, and what more - if anything - there is to this than randomly selecting from a pre-populated list.
