Paul Graham's website uses image maps for the nav bar, it's the only place I can recall seeing them off the top of my head.

Wow, I remember when server side image maps were the only kind of image map!

When I was a kid I had a Geocities-style website hosted on hpg.com.br which was wholly composed of animated GIFs, mostly Pokemon-related.

Very unfortunate that archive.org doesn't have a copy of it.

It'd be nice to have some way to browse the pages without constantly hunting for the Next button.

I agree but there is https://github.com/Dan-Q/ibiblio-icon-archive/tree/main/icon... and then you can put a . (or a .gif) in your OS search box

... of course.

I really love that the source-extension icons are all different, and resemble the files contents - .c indentation, .h mostly linear, .s assembly instructions, ".o" bits
