INTERNET, MON AMOUR BY BRAD PHILLIPS
Want to pitch us? Email [email protected]
Everyone’s taste is different, but many of us formed ours the same way: by scouring the internet, researching, and cataloging everything that interested us. The phenomenon has existed since the early days of the internet, before everything became a product sold to us through algorithms and advertisements. Our new column, Browser History, is about these formative early internet experiences — the memories of forums, message boards, chat rooms, and other bits of internet ephemera that shaped the taste of today. We're very excited to kick this off with a piece from Brad Philips. He's one of my favorite writers, an early PI guest, a Pi.FYI user (@BRAD-PHILLIPS) and more recently - a friend. Enjoy <3

i know self-promotion is lame, but I genuinely want people to know that I love this app and also i love the internet as a tool for archiving and sharing and understanding my own tastes. Love you PI.FYI, love you internet.

✍️Remember going to websites? Remember reading blogs? Remember the feeling of discovering some new art because a human being on the internet recommended it???

🔮tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
