I built a thing as fun side project at Urlbox.

It's a fresh perspective on the web. A way to explore the top one million homepage screenshots. You can zoom, pan and click to navigate.

It's called One Million Screenshots.

There are a surprising number of Sussex based websites among the top one million. For me, browsing around was a little like taking a walk around Brighton and occasionally bumping into someone I know.

Once we started playing with it we couldn't help adding a few more features. When you click on a site you can:

• Discover similar sites
• See changes over time (9 months of history)
• Data for each of the sites is also available via an API

We've seen people use it for research and inspiration but it's mostly been just for fun. That said it's has given us a chance to experiment with a few things we're considering adding to Urlbox's core API.

Here's the link: https://OneMillionScreenshots.com​

Let me know which Sussex based websites you can find among them and I'll feature them in my next email.

It turns out none of the coworking spaces I shared last time are in the top 1 million websites. But lets face it, once you've joined one you're going to be spending more time hanging out with members in the real world than reading the website about them.

Last time I shared some unsolicited feedback from one of our newest members. Si Cornwell (from Digitique Ltd) went further in a post on LinkedIn:

You can get those benefits from almost any coworking space you join. But you usually need to try a few different ones to find the one you're most comfortable in.

I've been banging on about the first promotion we've done in ages at The Skiff. We're celebrating 18 years of The Skiff Ltd so we're limiting it to 18 people.

Here's the deal (5 spots left):

If you join this week you can be one of 18 new (or returning) Skiffmates to get £180 of value:

• You'll get £120 off your first month of membership.
• If you stay for more than one month you'll be able to nominate a current member to get £60 off their next renewal.

Depending on what plan you choose that might mean your membership is completely free of charge for the first month. It brings the cost of all of our memberships below £100 for the first month.

All you have to do to be one of the final 5 new members is use coupon code 18YEARS18NEWSKIFFMATES when you join.

Let me know if you have any questions about this, or in general about places to work in Brighton.

Have a great week!
