Last time I posted here, someone pointed out that my "Origin and Meaning" section

contained neither the origin nor the meaning. He was right. Noah was showing up as

Germanic. Noah.

So instead of arguing I spent the week shipping the whole thread:

- Real meanings and etymology now, with the dictionary source cited right under each one

- Added official birth records from England, Scotland, Ireland and France, so you can

see where a name is actually popular right now

- A "% of babies" view, name days (with an explanation, because nobody knows what

those are), fictional characters, similar-sounding names

- Every section shows a small badge for where its data comes from

The idea behind the site is simple: name sites mostly copy meanings from each other

and cite nothing. I want the one where you can check every single fact yourself.

Free, no accounts.

Round 2. What's the first thing you'd check to decide whether you trust a site

like this?

Hey Reddit. I am the developer of DrawTheBlock. I just launched DrawTheBlock today after one year of hard work:

https://drawtheblock.com

DrawTheBlock is a collaborative, infinite-canvas pixel editor. The world is divided into blocks you can draw on, claim, and share, and everything you paint lives on one shared canvas that anyone can explore.

Give it a try. You don't have to register :)

I have made a very beautiful Ghibli-style website. Its still version 1.

Would love feedback on this

https://spiritg-q500nsx.runable.site

Still tweaking the sound profile and finishing up a soundboard to let users adjust sound preference.

Features: 50+ memes with full origin stories, This Day in Internet History, Lost Media Vault, Memory Wall, and a Retro Assets Library. Switch between Win95, WinXP, and Mac OS9 themes.

Built with Next.js, Prisma, and way too much nostalgia.

NASA's Landsat Name Generator gave me the idea for this project. I wanted to take the concept a bit further by using not just satellite images of geographic locations, but also natural objects and formations that resemble letters.

Type your name, and each character is matched to a real image that naturally looks like that letter. It was a fun project to build, and I'd love to hear your feedback!

Hi — I made this. (Before I Die)

https://preview.redd.it/79vz81lypo6h1.png?width=1870&format=png&auto=webp&s=2d443e41f663d7611bd954b6ec1d142f595bb142

The idea isn't mine, really. It belongs to those chalkboard walls that appear in cities sometimes, where strangers finish the sentence "Before I die, I want to…" in public, in chalk, knowing the rain will erase it. What always got me was the collisions — "see the northern lights" written right next to "forgive my father." Two strangers who will never meet, an inch apart.

I wanted to build the night-sky version of that wall. One where the rain can't reach.

How it works: you leave one photo and one sentence. It becomes a polaroid floating in a galaxy with everyone else's. That's all. There are no accounts, no likes, no comments, no followers, no feed deciding what you deserve to see. You drift, you read, you leave — or you stay.

Two small secrets: turn the sound on. And if you stop moving for thirty seconds, the galaxy starts showing you memories on its own.

Because this is Reddit, the money part, upfront: exploring is free, forever. The first 100 memories are free too — about 90 spots are left as I write this. After that, placing one costs $1.50, once. It

pays for servers and storage and nothing else.

No ads, ever. If you leave a sentence tonight, you'll be one of the first hundred lights in there. Be honest with it — it's going to outlive both of us.
