I’ve always had a project in mind for a bespoke search engine that only indexes pages smaller than 65kb.

There is a search engine that tries to do something like this... searches mainly for blogs and whatnot and I’m so sorry I can’t remember the name of it. :(

Ironically you can google about and find it probably.

Is it https://wiby.me? If not, I'd love to know more!

The surprise me feature has yielded some really good links!

"Doom as a tool for system administration" [1], "What can you do with a slide rule?" [2], and of course some vintage 90s personal pages... some of which have been actively maintained to this day (!) [3]

edit: that last page has some incredibly-detailed information about the various cars he's owned [4]

[1] Is actually a really cool idea. I thought it would just be a joke, but the article makes a good case for it, at least as a POC for a UI.
