Hello, this is the Tabbit discovery channel. Every week, we share interesting sites that caught our eye while we organized our finds in Tabbit Browser tab groups.
Here are the three websites we discovered this week:
01 Messenger https://messenger.abeto.co/
A healing little game that has been widely shared across the Chinese internet lately. It is the latest work from Dutch creative studio Abeto, with a fresh visual style and silky-smooth interactions. You can set up a character, explore the streets, talk with NPCs, and complete small online tasks. Image 5 shows the studio's official website, which is also beautifully made.
02 Who's in your wallet https://pudding.cool/2022/04/banknotes/
This is a data visualization project by The Pudding. By analyzing 236 banknotes from 38 countries and regions, it asks who is considered worthy of appearing on currency. The research finds a clear gender imbalance: 79% of the people shown are men and 21% are women. By occupation, writers are the most common group at 19%. About 29% of the figures are commemorated for being the first to do something, such as the first female member of parliament or the first Nobel Prize winner in literature. The project also reveals an interesting pattern: 96% of these people appeared on banknotes only after death, often after waiting decades or even centuries. Beyond showing the power symbols behind money, it prompts deeper reflection on representation, historical narratives, and social values, inviting us to reconsider the cultural meaning carried by everyday objects.
03 Low-Tech Magazine https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/
This website is powered entirely by solar energy and hosted on a small server in Barcelona. When power runs low, it automatically goes offline. To reduce energy use, the design is stripped down to the essentials: no JavaScript, highly compressed images, system fonts, and static HTML. This forced minimalism creates a retro print aesthetic, with each article feeling like a technical magazine typed on a typewriter. The content matches the form, focusing on low-tech solutions such as old windmills, human-powered machines, and lost crafts. A battery icon, sometimes shown as a small sun, appears on the page to show remaining power, reminding you that the website is alive and fragile.
That's it for today's exploration. Leave a comment and tell us which of these three sites you want to explore more deeply.
