Corners of Internet - #1 Place to find coolest corner's of internet
www.cornersofinternet.com
No fluff, no clickbait — just hidden gems, underrated tools, indie games/ films & lot more. Discover the best corners of the internet, curated for you by Coi.

Remember when the internet felt like a giant treasure hunt instead of just… cycling through the same five apps? Yeah, me too. That’s why I started COI (Corners of Internet)—a place where I dig up weird, fun, and happy corners of the web so you don’t have to.

No algorithms. No doomscrolling. Just pure internet exploration.

If it’s cool, underrated, or a little unhinged, it goes on COI.

Also, if you’ve got a favorite weird site, drop it below! I’m always looking for new rabbit holes to fall into.

      Fwiw, I can’t really actually tell what to do on the page, at least on mobile there is a lot going on, including asking for money before I even understand what the page is for.

        Updated the buy me coffee button to go to the footer it’s a self funded project that is why it was there on top :(

      The initial landing page looks extremely messy and chaotic. It looks like it’s made by an edgy tech intern who’s goal it was to make it as modernly bad as possible. There’s as many fonts as there are words and equally as many random images and CSS tricks that make it extremely hard to understand what the website is trying to do.

      I’m sorry for the hard comment, but that’s what I see.

      I suggest 2 main things:

      • Keep it simple. It’s a skill to keep something both interesting and simple and it’s very important when designing landing pages.
      • Split your personal stuff and the service you’re providing. You’re mixing 2 different types of website and it does not feel professional.

      I could give a much more in depth review if you want.

          • The top banner looks quite out of place. Your whole website uses huge full width vertical separation but the top banner is a tiny thing at the top, that looks like it should be sticky. It also uses round borders while your footer uses square borders.
          • The “At your service” could be misunderstood in the current landscape of AI assistents. It might imply some sort of smart interaction.
          • I would suggest you emphasis only 1 or 2 words in your landing title. You need to have 1 single thing stand out when they see that for the very first moment. “Coi” does not mean much. “Tiny Corner” “Internet” could work alright together.
          • This feels awefully out of place: https://framerusercontent.com/images/NEDqhYBfbsBdcBYtqq012PD2C8.gif Maybe it could in the same emphasis as “Coi”, or be placed somewhere else entirely. I was trying to figure out if it meant some sort of word in the sentence.
          • The Buy Me Pizza has been moved to a much better location.
          • The second thing I notice when I visit the page is the “Psssst”. It’s like you already ended the stream of information and switch to something else. You give me an option for a waiting list but I have no idea what I’m waiting for.
          • I would remove the border at the bottom of the top landing part. Either have a smooth background or have it cut into vertical parts like your footer.
          • The “I feel Lucky” is a bit flashy and placed right under the border and above the menu. I think it would be much better if you have it stand out much bigger and with more space around it. It feels like a second class citizen, while it might actually be a fun feature of the website. Small example of what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/ykZyrID.png .
          • The stars effect on the hover of “I feel lucky” is nice, but it shows way too fast compared to the rest of your animation heavy page.
          • The menu for the types of websites could be made bigger. The thing I don’t like about it is that it has a different background that matches the original too much. https://i.imgur.com/FeUxtUT.png
          • Hovering over the cards is the same as the stars. The change is too fast and too harsh
          • The badges underneath the cards (NEW, POPULAR) would be better with different colored backgrounds to easily spot what’s new and what’s popular. A trick is to zoom out and have it still make sense. I would also use green or blue for “New” instead of orange.
          • “Load more” could use a spinner on the button to show that it’s loading something. Always consider your site to be slow on your end-users machines.
          • The footer separation is very nice but might be too huge.
          • There are 5 mentions to contact you in your footer: “Let’s connect”, “let’s talk”, “contact me”, “hit me up”, “submit suggestions”. As I said, keep it simple and draw focus to just one of them. Drop the others. (especially the submit suggestions logo)
          • “I unearth internet gems that make you go 🤯”. You make it very personal but I fail to understand, even when reviewing this in depth, whether this means you, or your website (which has a persona). Try to make this much clearer.
          • Your Blog “Dear Diary” is weird and is like a totally different website. I fail to see what it has to do with your service “find a website from a corner on the internet”. Really try to separate these because it will confuse a lot of people.

          I could do more. It’s up to you. I know a lot about UX and have been a web developer for almost 20 years now.

              No problem. Some of it may be harsh but I’m always trying to help.

              Good luck on your project!!
