    10+ nostalgic apps and websites for Throwback Thursday

    When times get tough, it’s easy to get nostalgic for older, simpler days. Or at least for the things that brought us joy back then.

    Every once in a while, we get a new product that resurfaces a sound, smell, or visual that heads straight for the hippocampus. The best ones do all three.

    We’re highlighting 10+ new products this Throwback Thursday to reminisce while appreciating how far we've come.

    BUY LOW, SELL HIGH

    “Buying NFTs is easy, figuring out how much to sell for is hard.”

    Enter Asset Money, the platform that lets you manage your NFTs and estimate their worth based on rarity and traits.

    The product is also a lot of fun if one of your favorite things to do is “check random Twitter user's NFT value at Asset Money” as one commenter wrote.
