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:
Personally, I use https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/ to feed my search engine / crawler. It contains 30k + rss/atom feeds of indie web sites. Thx for sharing this and the other directories.
these are awesome. linking to all of them from III. i personally use Gossip's Web a lot (https://gossipsweb.net) to find new cool sites and wanted something similar but searchable. i also felt like i had a really good alliteration i couldnt waste
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
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

There is also https://personalsit.es which I help maintain.
I'm quite fond of https://ooh.directory/

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

right now there are no rules, and im hoping i dont need to make any. only requirement to submit is email address validation
How do you populate this index?
entirely user submissions. think https://gossipsweb.net but with semantic search on user descriptions. fairly low key
> Main Street Wealth helps to sell and buy Home Services businesses.
I like the site though.
Looks nice. Will be adding crawls.in (Domains homepage screenshots)
Ah yes, the indie internet index, which does not load without javascript and has no source code linked.
tranners with delusions of grandeur amazinf
the AI bots are not even trying now lol
