Read About Arrt.es
I created Arrt.es to provide a simple website that allows people to view art easily, and fast. A major issue with art is that people are required to browse websites that force you to go through 1-2 (or even 3-4) pages each time you want to view a new piece of art. It can be very difficult to view art quickly. Additionally, museums are nice, but often cost money and definitely time. To actually view each piece of art in a museum, you have to commit yourself to hours of browsing. This is mainly due to art being spread out (and requiring a lot of walking), but also because each piece of art deserves your undivided attention.
With this in mind, I created Arrt to have as little distractions as possible (so no thumbnails on the side, ads, etc) so people can view art effectively. By clicking the logo, anyone can view a new piece of art. And if a user falls in love with a piece, they can click the share link below the art to have the share URL put in their browser. Its simplicity is why it is so popular.

How It Works
Arrt.es is powered by reddit. I created a script that visits a reddit search results page, filters the content to only show posts that include direct links to images, and then extracts the data. Currently my site pulls the reddit: karma, image URL, post title, author name/link, and some other information that I have not yet included in the public pages.
I created a script that allows me to pull content from any subreddit in less than 20 seconds. Using this page in the picture below, I can start a site just like Arrt.es, or a separate category within Arrt.es, and fill it with 10,000-20,000 images/content in less than 10 minutes. Needless to say, it's easy. If you are interested in this script, you can PM me for more information. Eventually my script for running a site off of reddit content will be open source and free (this could change).
I use my script to run two sites. Although I cannot share the other link on FP, it is currently at 1,600+ unique visitors (Since May 22 2016), with 25,000 individual page loads.
