A small critique of that project - a large portion of the websites included are simply personal sites for developers - nothing barely more technical than a business card or CV. I would exclude those or categorize them differently, as to me their "usefulness" seems relatively edge case.
I clicked on 6 sites
4 were personal portfolio sites
1 was a personal blog
1 was a web design company
Pretty disappointing, and I'm not going to keep clicking on more in the hopes I find something interesting
I clicked on random and I got a tic tac toe that's apparently purpose made. Works fine too
In the FAQ they actually do address that and mention they're reviewing those sites for removal.
They are useful for those people though. You can put a QR code or URL on your business card and it will give people all the information they need for your businessor something.
I don't think anyone is arguing that having, like, websites are useful. But if they're not particularly interesting then it doesn't really fit here.
The point of something like this is generally to come up with interesting/creative/useful things within arbitrary resource limits. Not just a bunch of really really limited boring stuff.
That's not one of their requirements. You might want to look at a different competition.
Yeah i dont get this complaint. This is just a label that people can qualify for, its not a competition or curated list of totally great websites. Its literally just like an energy efficiency sticker on a TV.
