All of this is great, but it raises a question among the curious - how does one get into finding and reviewing cool niche websites and tools?
Bored Panda reached out to Matty McTech, the page's admin, to find out.

When we asked him how he got started with SetupSpawn, here's what he had to say:
"In 2016 I created the SetupSpawn Instagram page to show off cool computer setups I found online. Then as TikTok and Instagram Reels were gaining popularity, I thought it would be best to start making videos instead. I began posting short clips of useful websites I knew and they were immediately well received. 200+ websites later and here we are."

One thing we were wondering is how McTech finds all these random websites to review. After all, how do you even know what to search for or where to find them? Here's what he had to say:
"A lot of the websites I show are just ones I've come across over years of surfing the internet. My followers also share some of their favorites which usually leads me down a rabbit hole of playing around with different sites for hours."

It's only natural that, as a guide to tons of useful websites throughout the internet, McTech picked up a few websites that he found indispensable as well. So what types of websites does a guide to the internet use every day?
"All the AI tools like popping up recently have been fun to play around with, but most of the sites I use daily are usually productivity based. Something like Photopea when I don't have access to Photohop or TinyWow which has tons of different tools for files. Also I'm a gamer at heart, so websites like Geoguessr, Classic Reload, and Rankdle are always a nice distraction."

The prevalence of powerful online-available tools is just another step in the evolution of the internet. In the days of yore, the internet was largely limited to static pages of text and pictures. Now, we can access cloud drives and use powerful tools like AI engines just by visiting a website!

We do want to point out that you should manage your expectations. Most of these tools are quite powerful and highly accessible, but not all of them are free. And this is quite understandable. Just consider the complexity of running some of these services! After developing the tool itself, the owners also have to run or at least rent the server that makes their tool accessible to the world. All of that takes time and money, and most of these tools need some way to cover their operating costs.

Of course, not every website on this list is a tool. In some cases, like the Amazon outlet page, SetupSpawn explores a site familiar to many and finds valuable sub-pages that not everybody might know about.
