“The archive itself is not new”

Jan 22, 2026

I love how this Byte magazine archive by Hector Dearman tries to do something different. It inspired me, and reminded me of the excitement of what Internet was supposed to be. I think we all wanted the web to feel more like this – fast, with infinite information right at your fingertips, the biggest library you could imagine at the comfort of your home.

I hope seeing everything in single, searchable place offers a unique perspective.

(The details of the zoomable UI are a bit wonky in practice, but one can imagine fixing all that.)
