For inspiration, I prefer this one: https://uiverse.io/buttons

Is there something similar, but for menus?

People will do any useless thing to self-promote.

Well, it is somewhat entertaining.

Very nice. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s buttons

Haha, there was a post about 98.css the other day, I'm pretty sure it's one of those.

Im blown away by how ugly they all are. The worse part is that this is what users expect now. If you so much as put an icon on the corner they cant find the button anymore.

I'm sad that buttons are no longer interesting.

So interesting to see the contrast between OSX and Windows in 2001. No wonder OSX felt like the future. I miss the future.

For me, Windows 3.x era buttons are the pinnacle of buttons.

I suppose this is a healthier hobby than stealing hotel towels and ashtrays.

I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D effect. I'm old-school. :)
