Most people have strong opinions about search engines but have never compared results without knowing which is which. Search Bench changes that. It shows you two anonymous result sets for any query you type, and you pick the one you prefer. No engine names until after you vote. Every comparison feeds a live public leaderboard — so you can see what people actually prefer when brand bias is removed.

Marches & Gnats is a browser-based coding game inspired by Advent of Code. But instead of writing regular code, you program a Turing machine. Each quest gives you a concrete problem and a minimal model of computation. You write transition rules, run the machine, inspect its tape, and iterate. The game is set in 19th-century Estonia during the Romantic era.
