Bookmarks, spring 2026

A handful of links worth re-opening — small toys, sharp essays, a museum, a font.

A quiet quarter of things that earned a second tab.

  • neal.fun — the patron saint of catalogs-of-toys. Re-read the about page once a season; it keeps the bar honest.
  • ciechanow.ski — Bartosz’s essays are the upper bound of what a single web page can do. Watch the bicycle one again with sound on.
  • rauno.me — a working masterclass in motion-used-surgically. Hover, scroll, focus — every interaction earns its frame.
  • Velvetyne Type Foundry — open-source faces with a strong point of view. The catalog reads like a small zine.
  • Are.na — somebody else’s curation almost always beats the algorithm’s. Use it to follow people, not topics.

That’s it. The trick to a bookmark list is to stop before it becomes a CMS.
