The Unofficial Homestuck Collection is a fanmade pseudo-browser created by Bambosh as an effort to preserve the original experience of Homestuck and other MSPA-related content as much as possible, with the discontinuation of Adobe Flash on December 31st, 2020. Its goal is outlined as follows[1]:
However, with Flash finally being phased out at the end of 2020, Homestuck is in a precarious state. While there have been official attempts to preserve aspects of the original experience by VIZ Media (who have published Homestuck since 2018), the results have been mixed. With extra content scattered around the web in various states of decay, a solution was needed to preserve Homestuck's one-of-a-kind presentation and flair, for both returning readers and those new to the story.
Andrew Hussie seems to have unofficially endorsed The Unofficial Homestuck Collection by retweeting a tweet promoting the collection, as well as including it on his Linktree[2].
