Ate Bit Tech

A curated, searchable index of retro and vintage computing resources — from Amiga to ZX Spectrum and beyond — published at https://atebit.tech. About: Community project. No affiliation with listed entities.

Why

Centralize vendors, parts suppliers, magazines, emulators, museums, forums, and communities so newcomers and veterans can find what they need fast.

Features

  • Fast client-side filtering (category, brand of computer/console, language)
  • No-JS fallback list for accessibility
  • High-contrast toggle
  • Schema.org metadata for better search previews
  • Privacy-first analytics: GoatCounter counts page views and country only — no cookies, no stored IP addresses, no personal data

Stack

  • Static HTML + Tailwind (CDN)
  • Generated from data/directory.json — edit the data, then run python3 scripts/build-directory.py --write
  • python3 scripts/validate-site.py verifies the data, the modern page, and all 45 classic pages stay in sync; it runs on every push via GitHub Actions
  • Hosted on GitHub Pages
