Thanks dude!
I've been feeling weird about the design since I launched it, definitely needs a redesign. I've mostly been focused on the newsletter side of things and ignored the website. Thanks for bringing it up - I've pushed it to the top of my todo list.

I'm not the OP, but I thought the design was OK.
One thing I'd suggest removing however is the Product Hunt logo/widget. It's meaningless for people that may find your site via search. They don't care if it was the "Product of the Day" or whatever. Those are mostly for bragging rights in the lean startup community.
Another reason to remove it is because it creates that negative "blogspam" signal in online communities like HN that are familiar with PH. There are lots or barebones websites offering color palettes and CSS gradients and calling themselves "products". Don't turn your website into one of those.

One thing that bothered me is that the images are sort of popping in and causing the layout to shift as you scroll down. If you set a dimensions on the img-tags, it will at least remove the layout shift.

The design looks the same as https://www.billiondollarpitchdecks.com/ both by FlowGenius.co which is where the OP is from, judging by post history. These sites are created using WebFlow (https://webflow.com/) so I'm guessing part of the WebFlow look and feel (no code website builder)

I use remove.bg, tempmail, and down for everyone or me somewhat regularly and used to love using bug me not (like 10 years ago). This reminds me of netted.net. They also focus mostly on their newsletter which gives one suggestion per day. Built by the same guys who started The Webbys.

I found some of these genuinely interesting and useful, so thanks. Overall I don't see a reason to come back to the website and not interested in the newsletter format. Nevertheless, I think you can turn this into _something_ if you are persistent with interesting websites.

It's always interesting to get pulled out of one's own bubble, because I fail to find any of these websites useful? (other than mynoise, which I already knew)

Looks valuable, some of them might come in handy.
But it's unstructured now and hard to navigate. It would be great to add categories and filtering. So users will be able to browser only what they're interested in.
And if you plan on adding new sites it might help returning users if it displays "new since you last visited".

Nice collection, have to mention that this[0] is probably not the way you intended the card elements to look like on big screens (with the extra white space after the image).

Add tags! Add as much as information as you can to be honest. I want to read before I want to click, specially if the link is going to redirect me to a new website different than the one I am one.

That's a UTM tag that Revue adds automatically - not an affiliate link. Most of these sites are free dude. Take a look next time before jumping to conclusions and calling something junk.
its an apple store app and not even a website.
Timewaster.
My main feedback is that it subjectively looks and feels very much like the SEO blogspam you get at the top of every google search these days.
It's hard to put my finger on exactly what, but it feels visually busy and almost a little too polished.

I've been lazy in uploading them to the site...
I still use it to this day.
My memory is not what it used to be.
Now I just need a dead link reporter tool for it.
Lol
No idea what that entails but keen to browse your site tomorrow, cheers
You can also use the tool and then list your entries like I do here: http://marc.rupy.se
With a simple script tag.
Wow, someone actually built it....

I don't think so buddy
