    I found my own blog [0]. But interestingly, it is missing the letter I in screenshot starting from July 2025.

    So good to see this different approach! The clustering looks really cool and love that the focus is not on the most popular websites.

    Here’s another Christmassy alternative: https://display.archive.org/xmas

    I’m one of the makers of OneMillionScreenshots.com and I’m currently working on an update to it.

    There are many patches of almost-identical sites.

    Some of them are due to many people using the same theme.

    Some of them are expired or parked domains, which I reckon should be detected and excluded.

      Teeming masses of sites using what probably seems to the authors as a fresh, unconventional look but ends up being Yet Another.

        I doubt anyone selecting a popular theme is confused by the fact that it’s popular. I use the default Mediawiki theme for mine, for instance.

    That's a lot of fun to explore. I'm not entirely convinced by the "you can judge a book by its cover" thing, there are so many "Hi, I'm _____" pages that might have content or might just be portfolio stubs.

    Maybe can add a timeline and clock

    Timeline: view older versions

    Clock: view light/dark mode theme according to user time zone (or enable dark/light mode manually)

    I'm also a bit curious, since most web pages are predominantly white, how many of them are adapted to dark mode?
