24 alternatives to Winamp and other media players, rebuilt for the web with Web Components

Hey all, creator of Video.js and co-founder of Mux & Zencoder here. My team and I built this. I hope you like the themes we’ve built so far, and maybe even get inspired to build your own. I know Web Components are in a bit of a drama cycle right now. I’m happy to see them get any attention really. I’ve been pretty bullish on them since ~2013 when I started working with them, at least in the context of a widget like a video player. I’ve even given many related talks on them like this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Mh84SRoDg). I would never push them for a large app or…

    I built a web-based HTML/CSS/JS editor focused on speed, simplicity, and offline access. No bloat — just open and start coding. What makes it different: Live Preview – Edit HTML, CSS, and JS side-by-side with instant feedback. Offline support – Works without internet. You can even install it as a PWA and use it like a native app. No Login Required – Just visit, code, and preview. Login only if you want to save/share. Savable & Shareable Links – Save scripts in the cloud and get shareable links. Customizable Editor – Themes, fonts, auto-format on save, layout tweaks, line…

    Hi there, friends! I built a fun side-project called Fancy Components to explore and recreate some of the more unique, funky, unconventional, and sometimes useless UI designs & microinteractions you might see around the web. Built (mostly) with React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Motion (formerly Framer Motion). Just copy the source code into your project, and you’re good to go. Each component includes examples, demos and also a documentation to help you understand how it works and built. It’s 100% free and open-source!

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to get feedback on this site editor (I couldn't get on my first try). A lot of it was inspired by modern browser's dev tools. Do you guys think it's intuitive enough? Does it feel good to use? Any feedback would be amazing.

    Just published my personal website v1 with some 8-bit style design that gives people nostalgia. Check it out at https://yzhx.xyz/. You can also find the source code on my GitHub. Here are couple of takeaways from the project: - It is a Next.js app built from the template (https://github.com/chronark/chronark.com). I made many changes, but I appreciate the components that came with the template! - The pixel art in the background is from Brandon James Greer on YouTube (https://youtu.be/cxjX8O6YSHI). Please do check out their work on YouTube;…

    I built this over my Christmas break: pixels.style, a simple browser-based pixel art tool that gives your drawings a soft, watercolor vibe instead of sharp pixels. No signup, just open and draw. Installable as a PWA. Try it: https://pixels.style Would love feedback on whether it feels fun/useful and what you’d want next!

    I have never been 100% happy with the way React applications were styled, and I tried lots of options. Recently I started using TailwindCSS, which is great, but there were still a few things I didn't like: - It's ugly with CSS classnames all over your component code - There is lots of boilerplate for custom components, especially if you are using Typescript and variants So I wrote a little utility that takes care of all the reservations I had. I would love to hear your feedback!
