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:

https://blogs.hn/ (by @surprisetalk)

https://hnpwd.github.io/ (I am one of the maintainers)

https://indieblog.page/ (by @splitbrain)

https://kagi.com/smallweb/ (by @freediver)

https://marginalia-search.com/ (by @marginalia_nu)

https://minifeed.net/ (by @freetonik)

https://susam.net/wander/ (I developed this)

https://text.blogosphere.app/ (announced by @ramkarthikk on 'Show HN' yesterday)

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

It's super satisfying to search for my own blog on an indie aggregator and finding it there already.

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

I like the site though.

Looks nice. Will be adding crawls.in (Domains homepage screenshots)

This reminds me of sacredmtn.com, I miss that site. Does anyone here know the creators of that site and what they might be doing now ?

Is this being attacked by people pushing their commercial sites into it, or are those ads?

How do you populate this index?

I use Newsify for rss. Any neat trick to add these as feeds?

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

Ah yes, the indie internet index, which does not load without javascript and has no source code linked.
