The Internet Origami Diagram Database has Been Retired
After much thought I’ve decided to retire this diagram database section. Originally I wanted to create an easy index for people to find diagrams but ultimately this section has caused more problems than it’s worth.
The main issue is over the years since I originally built this list a huge number of the websites have gone offline and many of the links are broken. Every so often I’ve gone through and deleted the broken links which just makes this index smaller and smaller. Also, once a site goes offline I can’t control what happens to those domains and some of these diagram links ended up going to questionable websites which I definitely don’t want. It’s also caused a fair bit of drama over the years and I don’t really want to deal with that.
So going forward this page will only contain diagrams I’ve directly uploaded to this website that I know will never go offline.
If you have diagrams of your own you’d like us to publish contact us here. We’ll give you full credit and a link back to your website or social media accounts.
