Building arch.supply - a beautiful way to explore the Internet Archive (launching June 23)
Hey PH!
The Internet Archive is one of the richest troves on the web - millions of posters, maps, photographs, type specimens, museum scans - but it's built for searching, not for looking. So I built arch.supply: it turns the Archive into a fast, visual feed you can actually browse and get lost in. Pull color palettes from anything, flip through scanned books, save moodboards, and there's even ambient radio (via the lovely raydio.net) while you dig. Everything streams live from archive.org.
I'm launching here on June 23 and would love your eyes before then:
What's the first collection or rabbit hole you'd want to explore? (maps? pulp covers? botanical plates?)
Anything that'd make it more useful for your kind of research/inspiration?
If it looks like your thing, hit Follow above and I'll ping you at launch. 🙏
