TLDR; Created a http.cat but for monkeys because I like looking at monkeys more than cats

This a simple and quick idea that I had for some time now but I never gave it the day that this idea required. I was randomly at a library here at Enschede and, while applying for jobs it dawned on me, “oh, I could look at pictures of monkeys for some hours right now” and then I just did it.

While working on this I felt actually very happy, monkeys have been a kind of obsession for me in the last couple of months and now I have a place to look at funny pictures of monkeys.

The website itself was made to be as simple as possible and look some funny monkey pictures, laugh and then go do something else, but I actually like how it came out.

The logo is my favorite part from the whole website, it’s the perfect spot between being minimalist and with enough detail. The color palette also matches the website idea and the monkeys seem to be happy to be here.

These are some funny monkey pictures on the website and why I like them:

monkey sleeping or something: I like this one because the little orangutan makes a funny face and my colleagues on my last internship at Cloudflare gave me a tile with this picture, so it’s very close to my heart.

chunky monkey: This is another baby orangutan but this one is very funny because of his stomach and the way that he looks at the camera. If you pay close attention, there’s a pile of banana’s behind him, some sources say that he at all of these bananas

time to lock in chimpanze: All of the composition of the picture makes it just perfect, the Papyrus font with a chimpanze having an idea. Nothing more to say about that, just beauty.

This was a fun project to work on, even if for not so long but I’ll definitely take a look back and smile for making this a reality.
