Findorama.net 🌌 — Stargate SG-1 Prop Website Tribute

A faithful, retro-styled recreation of the fictional "Findorama" prop website featured in Stargate SG-1, Season 4, Episode 15: "Chain Reaction".

This project captures the peak early-2000s web aesthetic, accurately mimicking the Netscape Navigator environment and the iconic login page used by General Hammond and Harry Maybourne to expose the rogue NID operations.

🌐 Live Demo: https://findorama.netlify.app/


📺 The Lore & The Joke

In the episode "Chain Reaction", a secret website called Findorama.net is used as a front to store classified data. However, eagle-eyed tech fans and the Stargate community quickly noticed a hilarious technical oversight in the original broadcast: the address bar in the browser reveals that the "website" was actually just a local file running off the studio computer's hard drive:

file:///C:/www.findorama.net.bin/login.html

This project turns that beloved piece of television sci-fi prop history into a fully functional, pixel-perfect static web page tribute.
