httpstatuses VS http.cat

https://httpstatuses.io Is still my favorite.

http.cat is amusing, but https://httpstatuses.io is my quick and simple goto reference.

It's a nice tool for sure, wonder though if you have come across https://httpstatuses.io/ too - quick, easy, ad-free, static app, https://github.com/httpstatuses/httpstatuses

I sold httpstatuses.com in... 2016 I think, maybe 2017, and the acquirers kept it as-is until 2022. Someone (not me) recently relaunched the site (as it was opensource) under a new domain -- https://httpstatuses.io -- so if you can replace ".com" with ".io" in your muscle memory, you can get the original site!

Their blog post about relaunching: https://jkulton.com/2022/reviving-httpstatuses

I went ahead and git cherry-picked the commits off that old PR into the new project then deployed, dark mode should now be supported. Here is the PR with the changes.

Cats for other HTTP status codes can be found (or not found :-)) one level up

https://http.cat

Whenever we request data or services from a server, it can respond with status codes represented by numbers. You've probably heard of "404" which means "not found", but there are others like "201 - Created" and "500 - Internal Server Error." During one of my mentoring sessions, I was given a website that showcased all these status codes with kitten memes and a brief description. It was fantastic and helped me grasp each one of those statuses better.
