Awesome! I recently started an "Awesome Website Paths" [1] repository. I didn't know about /ideas, and I haven't tracked /about yet. I'll add them later tonight and point both to https://aboutideasnow.com for now. In the past I've had each endpoint mention a specific page that's dedicated to the endpoint. I can make an exception until I find one of those dedicated pages, but I'll make sure to still keep a reference t…

This is an awesome awesome list! Thank you for adding /about and /ideas! It also reminded me to have a proper look for awesome-personal-sites or similar, and there are a few:

This is so cool, thank you!!

Likely didn't find any reference of /ideas because we made it up :)

I've been trying to make /wish pages a thing:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tried to add https://jakeseliger.com , and I got an error saying that there is no "about" page. But if you look at https://jakeseliger.com/about , there is in fact one!

Oh, looks like the missing page detection went rogue in this case. It found the word "error" in your page and decided to use / instead of /about :) I just fixed this, sorry!

Thank you! I think the idea is very cool.

Ideas are not worth very much, and many try to focus on world-changing ideas, which is the wrong approach. I sit on two or three profitable ideas at any time, there's just not enough hours in a day to dedicate serious effort to any.

I agree! What would you say is the most important then? The right people, or sticking with something for long enough?

Effort trumps everything. The difference between a dumb idea and a multi-million dollar business is how much effort you put in.

So effectively the problem most people have (including me) is finding an idea you will keep believing in even after the hype and excitement has faded down, and the only thing standing in front of you is the mountain you still have to climb.

This is great, would love to see something like this turn into a social network of people building sites / pursuing ideas publicly. Added my site makeartwithpython.com too.

There have been many people already leveraging their own website as the basis of a *different* approach to social network...May i invite you to the wonderful, and very deep rabbit hole that is the indie web: https://indieweb.org/#.F0.9F.8C.B1_Join_the_IndieWeb

Don't let the view of this website fool you...there's tons of content there to start you off on a fun journey! Enjoy!

Very cool. I've got all the /now pages from https://nownownow.com/ in my PostgreSQL database (I'm the creator/admin of it) so feel free to contact me if you'd like a more direct data connection. https://sive.rs/contact I'm currently going through every site on nownownow.com by hand, removing the dead and spam ones, since after years of automated scripts it deserved a personal visit to verify. While doing that, I'm up…

Yep definitely everyone add your /now site to nownownow.com too!

I feel like the directories each have a different purpose: aboutideasnow.com to connect people with similar ideas, nownownow.com as a personal look into people's lives.

Derek I sent you an email :)

I don't know if my website is eligible.

My homepage is a small introduction and a table of projects with links to those projects, which are also github repositories with a blog underneath.

This community standardisation I really like /about /now /ideas, I would like people to create github repositories with this format:

"wants" -> things that this person wants

"perspectives" -> technical perspectives on different subjects

"work" -> work that someone thinks need doing

"collaboration" -> what someone would be willing to work with others on

"commissions" -> what you'll pay someone for

"ideas" -> ideas

"blog" -> if your blog is hosted on github

"dotfiles" -> if you have them

Every page is eligible actually because we treat / as /about if /about is not present. Just try submitting your site :)

Another commenter here created a repo to track more standard webpages: https://github.com/jameschensmith/awesome-website-paths

For GitHub repos I'm not sure of any standardisation except README.md, LICENCE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md?
