What I like the most

Colors and theme and seeing the magic go.

  • It's one of the few places that actually cares about preservation.
  • It’s old-school but charmingly utilitarian.
  • Super minimal—looks like the early 2000s but feels timeless.
  • Function over form: search bar, categories, boom
