Internet users who have been online for years often love the nostalgia of turning back the clock<\/a> to look at websites as they once were. This is a fun way to kill time and to study the growth of web design<\/strong> over the years.<\/p>\n

I always love browsing the Wayback Machine but it\u2019s such a pain. The interface is a bit clunky and many of the archived pages don\u2019t even load properly (or at all). But now a new project called UX Timeline<\/a> lets you peer into the distant past<\/strong> offering a vertical timeline of previous screenshots and changes along the way.<\/p>\n

\"ux<\/a><\/figure>\n

The beauty of the UX timeline is that you get clear screenshots of the websites attached to a vertical timeline interface<\/strong> that you can scroll to see changes<\/strong> with each year.<\/p>\n

\"mailchimp<\/a><\/figure>\n

Some of the more recent sites<\/strong> like Product Hunt<\/a> don\u2019t have many entries<\/strong>. But when you get into companies that have been around for 15+ years like MailChimp<\/a> this becomes a lot more interesting with a whole bunch more screenshots to browse through.<\/p>\n

Right now the site focuses on the most popular startups and social networks<\/strong> like Vimeo, Dribbble, Spotify, and Uber (but in the near future I\u2019d expect even more sites to be added to the list).<\/p>\n

Overall UX Timeline is really just a small side project made for designers with a hint of nostalgia<\/strong>. But it sure beats manually digging through the Wayback Machine and the screenshots all come in high quality image sizes.<\/p>\n

If you want to see any of the images in full just right-click and select \"view image\" and you\u2019ll get the full-size shot.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a way to submit new screenshots but I think this would be a nice feature. You can always try making suggestions or sharing your thoughts with the creator Jacinthe Busson on her Twitter account @jacinthe_<\/a>.<\/p>\n
