    Great to see another IndieWeb project on the HN front page. The more the merrier. At this point, it almost feels like we need a meta-directory to keep track of them all. For others like me who are fond of these projects, here are a few other directories and indices worth checking out:

    Am I missing something? This doesn't seem to be an "index" at all. The name "index" made me think its trying to accomplish what marginalia is already doing

    https://marginalia-search.com/

    And stuff like Gossip's Web has been around for a decade now

    https://gossipsweb.net/

    IndieWeb also has a massive "web ring" that has a similar aim

      I don't think there is anything wrong with overlapping other projects, particularly when it's about surfacing the personal web.

        Yeah I'd prefer to be seen contributing to an ecosystem[1], rather than sucking all of the air out of web discovery.

        [1] Of either collaboration or friendly competition. Keeps everyone involved honest.

      III is basically Gossips Web but searchable. users submit sites with descriptions used for semantic search

      not a crawl-based index

    Is it an index of nice sites for someone's LLM training set?

    I can't seem to find the rules. How do I know if my site is in scope here? It it like Kagi's small web that's only for blogs, or does it need to be run by a <10-person company, or like what means "indie" here?

    Viewing the submit page requires an email address and bugmenot@bugmenot.com does not work

      right now there are no rules, and im hoping i dont need to make any. only requirement to submit is email address validation

    > Main Street Wealth helps to sell and buy Home Services businesses.

    I like the site though.

    How do you populate this index?
  • Cider9986 3 hours ago
    Ah yes, the indie internet index, which does not load without javascript and has no source code linked.

      i think you were looking for the Old & Obsolete Online Ossuary - indie sites are allowed to use react and be closed source
