    Launcher for Flashpoint Archive (by FlashpointProject)

  • BlueMaxima's Flashpoint lets you play all the old nostalgic flash games from the past

  • neocities

    Neocities.org - the web site. The entire thing. Yep, we're completely open source.

  • You can still see sites in this style on Neocities. Loads instantly, though.

  • ipfs

    Peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol

  • Now there's also https://ipfs.io. Non-P2P stuff such as HTTPS will become ancient.

  • webamp

    Winamp 2 reimplemented for the browser

  • ruffle

    A Flash Player emulator written in Rust

  • Flash Player is being rewritten in Rust: https://ruffle.rs/

  • SecureUxTheme

    🎨 A secure boot compatible in-memory UxTheme patcher

  • This is the patch I've been using. It's worked well enough so far, all things considered. There's also this which may be better, though I've never tried it.

  • mpc-hc

    Media Player Classic

  • Media Player Classic has been forked over to MPC-HC and it's still under active development. I prefer the old school interface and it seems to run a lot lighter than VLC on older systems.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
