HACKER Q&A

What websites or apps do you miss from the old web (2003-2010) era?


Back in the days, when surfing the Internet was a thing, a lot of different services lived. As years passed those services were closed or their features were placed in bigger more consolidated services (example: there used to be a lot of calendar apps, now we have google calendar in g-suite or in Polish internet there used to be a service called digart.pl which was a kind of myspace+dribble for graphic designers and other visual artists). Which of those services do you miss the most and would like to see coming back?

Nothing in particular, save from the phenomenon of long form blogosphere, but in general the information dense websites. Now it's like some giant button click adventure to get where I want because of 'UX design' or latest craze, and I do hate it.
