  This was my favourite of the ones I saw:

  Really moving piece. Great idea on the part of the API devs!

  I used to borrow the books which had "to be disposed if not lent in the next 3 months" slip in them. Never regretted reading them. The best one included a very odd short story by Flann OBrien about a carpenter who walls himself inside the oak panelling of a build he is working on, and a woman convinced Sago farming will cure Ireland's famine.

  There used to be a site called Forgotify that would only play songs from Spotify that had zero listens. So each song played, of course, removed that song from the set that could ever be played by Forgotify. Doesn't look like it's around any more, sadly.

  Kudos to whoever put this in the response, honestly what a fun idea.

    Opposite of a 429 right!

  it keeps saying "failed to load" for me. through the magic of the developer console, i can see that the api calls are working but the actual image requests are not. it seems that this is a case of an overzealous cloudflare turnstile setup since if i open the image links in a new tab and pass a challenge i can view them.

    if i turn off my vpn, it works, but the vpn is cloudflare's own WARP. strange

  How many of these images are there? I cycled through a few and ended up hitting at least one duplicate [1] that I do actually enjoy (but I can't find the name of it now that I refreshed the page, I know it had the verrazzano narrows bridge in the title)

  Is there a chance a site like this could ruin their metric by inflating all the views for these lowest viewed items? Or do these not count?

    The site calls the API directly (www.artic.edu), so yeah, probably it will ruin^W change the metric. It's probably the creator's idea?

    Some, ahem, video sites, have "Popular videos". Of course the videos that end up there get more views and get even more popular...

    If the views are all real views it's hardly "inflating" anything.

      If they're using a static threshold of 200 views and there aren't many of these left it could pull them all out of that category.

      It could obviously be fixed but I was more curious than anything

  I wish I could click the picture to pop out scale to full 1x

  Cool project, it's actually a shame if it gets popular enough then it won't return anything

    A shame but maybe also the point? If the under appreciated art is being viewed, that sounds great.

  there’s probably some decent arguments on how to implement this.

  Reminded me of least viewed pages on wikipedia collections or neglected articles...
