Before we get into this week’s links, I just thought I’d let you know we’re having a summer break next week, so the next issue won’t be with you until September 11!

A handy service that helps you explore music and find the best prices for vinyl.

There are so many better options than Spotify for music and Elliot helpfully breaks plenty of options for you.

This is a great piece. As we see it, the web — at large — always wins and those green shoots will come.

A really cool service for cataloging physical media. The bookshelves are really nicely done too.

An extremely satisfying web-based game.

Here’s one from the Piccalilli archives that you might have missed to wrap up this issue.

P.S. this is a good website from personalsit.es.

Thanks so much for reading this issue of The Index and lending us your time.

The best way for people to discover this newsletter is if you share it with your friends, so I'd really appreciate it if you did that.

Until the next issue, take it easy 👋
