Remember the joy of finding random videos rather than algorithmic clickbait? That's what Swell is aiming to do.

We don't track you, all videos are embedded using enhanced privacy mode and there's no algorithm to speak of - each time you hit you're served a random video that's been curated to appear on Swell.

That's it.

Just human curated videos that are interesting, different or important - with a little context so you don't drown in a tsunami of information: https://surfswell.xyz/

No matter how tempting it is, you should never use a PDF to display content that users need to read online. After 20 years of watching users perform similar tasks on a variety of sites that use either PDFs or regular web pages, one thing remains certain: PDFs degrade the user experienceNo matter how tempting it is, you should never use a PDF to display content that users need to read online.

Slingcode is a personal computing platform in a single html file.

You can make, run, and share web apps with it. You don't need any complicated tools to use it, just a web browser. You don't need a server, hosting, or an SSL certificate to run the web apps. You can put Slingcode on a web site, run it from a USB stick, laptop, or phone, and it doesn't need an internet connection to work. You can "add to home screen" in your phone's browser to easily access your library of programs on the go. You can share apps peer-to-peer over WebTorrent. It's private. You only share what you choose: https://slingcode.net/
