Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Craig and the creator of arch.supply.
I kept going down rabbit holes on the Internet Archive — 1930s travel posters, USGS topographic maps, vintage type specimens, pulp sci-fi covers — and loving what I found, but hating how I found it. The catalog is one of the wonders of the web, and the interface makes you work for every gem.
arch.supply is the visual front door I wanted. It's a fast masonry feed over 40M+ public-domain and openly-licensed scans, with:
🎨 Palette extraction — pull copyable hex codes straight off any scan
🔎 Real search — filter by era, media type, subject; shuffle for serendipity
🎵 Listen while you browse: set the mood as you browse with Raydio integration
📚 Page-through previews — flip through books and magazines in a lightbox
🔗 Shareable views — the whole search state lives in the URL
✍️ One-click credits — export a ready-made attribution list
It runs entirely in your browser — no backend, no API key — fetching live from archive.org's public APIs. Accounts and a daily-finds newsletter are optional extras; the core works signed-out and offline-friendly (it's a PWA).
It's an independent project, not affiliated with the Internet Archive — and a slice of any merch sales goes back to them, because they make all of this possible.
I'd genuinely love to know what you dig up. Drop the weirdest, most beautiful thing you find in the replies 👇
