Fossilware – a community archive of retro hardware, software, and games

i built a small site to collect memories of the things we grew up with: floppy drives, Game Boys, cassette tapes, forgotten software, classic games. the tech stack is React, Supabase and Vercel. fair warning: the items on there right now were seeded by AI to get things started. the goal is for it to grow through community submission. there's a submit form, no account needed. i'd love to gather some early feedback and get some more ideas. something i was thinking about in the future is having users create accounts to favorite items and comment their own personal experiences with items. right now everything requires manual approval but in the future i'd like to push that towards the community. thanks for looking!
