Long before Stream or the App Store, there was Newgrounds. Since 1995, it has been the proving ground for internet creativity. It's where Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, and Super Meat Boy started as Flash games.
Today, it thrives as an open portal for games, animation, art, and music. The community judgement system prevents spam, but allows almost anything else. It's safe harbor for experimental content that algorithms elsewhere would bury.
It remains the home of the "weird web"—Friday Night Funkin' mods, Madness Combat animations, and interactives that defy categorization. It's a living archive of internet history that is still actively being written.
