Top 5 discoveries, curated and delivered every Friday. No bloat, no sponsored garbage — just signal.

Why We Exist
THE CURATION ETHOS

The internet is drowning in content. AI tools drop daily. Every indie game is "hidden gem of the year." Every plugin promises to change your workflow. Most of it is noise.

PocketPixels exists because attention is finite and curation is a craft. Every pixel we feature earned its place. We dig through the noise so you don't have to — and we're honest when something is slop.

We cover the weird, the indie, the experimental. Not because it's contrarian — but because the most interesting ideas usually start small, offbeat, and slightly broken. We find them early.

No affiliate links. No sponsored placements. No VC-backed content machine. Just a person with a browser, a genuine opinion, and a deep love of tiny discoveries.
