I have spent the last year or so restoring a Minecraft skin editor site, that had gone offline for good. I had used that site for years to make my own skins as a child, and while I hadn’t used it in a couple years, I still had friends that relied on it to make their own skins, and were greatly disappointed losing the site. Starting from a wayback machine archive, I hacked some much needed improvements in to the minimised jquery-based, javascript (a right pain but an excellent learning experience). I implemented a Rails backend for the gallery, and have since been slowly improving it, replacing assets, and growing a community around it. We recently hit 10k skins on the site! I am working on rewriting the actual editor from scratch, and releasing the code as open source once all original assets/code have been swapped out.
