Cool Sites
Mostly a resource for myself, but I think it could also be useful to other people, so I'm making a list of random sites I find helpful for certain tasks or just entertaining.
General Use:
Internet Archive: Feel like most people know of it already, but it's still a very important and useful site: It has an gigantic collection of movies, books, texts, software and others, all for free!
Wayback Machine: Part of the Internet Archive, and maybe even more important than it: You can search the URL of sites and find older versions of them, and also use it to access deleted sites.
Cobalt: Site to download videos and audios! Just need to copy and paste a link from the site and it downloads for you.
Elipsus: An good site for people who want to write stories: it’s a Google Docs substitute that has all their features, plus a few exclusive to it.
Character Design References: A good resource for concept art from famous animated movies and TV shows, plus a lot of cool art for various artists!
Postimages: A place to upload and host images online!
BeepBox: A site to make simple music for free on the browser! It's a little confusing at first but I think it’s a good first introduction.
FotoForensics and TinEye: Other options for sites to help you find the origin of pictures online besides Google Images, plus FotoForensics lets you see edits made to the image.
Font Meme: Mostly for titles instead of longer writing, but you can find the font used for a lot of famous things here!
Just for Fun:
Legends of Localization: Teaches about translation and localization of japanese to english, plus a little about the japanese language; mostly games, but you'll find articles about some movies too.
My Figure Collection: Site where you can see figurines and some other merch for japanese series, games, etc, plus look at people’s collections!
Letterboxd: Pretty well known, but still useful: here you can mark movies/shorts/miniseries you have seen, plus look at people’s reviews and lists (though I mostly just use it to catalogue all movies I’ve seen).
Internet Artifacts: A site that shows some important moments in the history of the internet in a fun interactive way.
Wiki-Like Sites:
BreezeWiki: Site that allows you to access Fandom Wiki sites without all the ads and annoying things all over it!
Fanlore: Site where you can read about the history/”lore” of fandoms, and find some notable fanworks and resources! I’m an editor there!
The Cutting Room Floor: Another super well known site, but still great: has information about the beta version of games, and also anything interesting left in their code.
