About
SingleFunction is a showcase of one purpose, one function, single serving sites; meaning, websites that have one functionality, no clutter, and require no learning curve.
Being a big fan of simplicity, I thought it would be a good idea to share my passion… I decided to list my finds of single function sites, allow other enthusiasts to do so as well, and make it an effortless experience for anyone to find them.
