personal sites
these are sites primarily managed by one person. most of these are collected when i click a link of a person i'm interested in in web3.0-land and get pleasantly surprised by how web1.0-ish it is, but some of them are also just regular sites made by one person who i think is moderately cool.
- 5cense
blog with epic typing style. i have to admit... trying to read any page here does tire me out, so i can't give you the best overview. but i think the base concept and site design is so cool.
