Excellent work. This is a perfect demonstration of how valuable content curation can be, paired with an excellent presentation and user experience. You made it much easier to discover interesting people in the corners of the Internet, and I am grateful for that.

Ohh, thank you! :)

#113This was my vision of discovery engine for the Web! I'm glad that someone turned it into reality but I think you should scale it to the whole Web not just personal websites. Amazing job, you guys did!
Thank you!! :)
What kind of websites do you want to discover other than personal websites? Why not use general purpose web search?

All kind of websites....ecommerce, corporate, government, non-profit etc. I think we need to evolve old-school type web directories and make what I call discovery engine because we already have search engines.
For example we should think how we can evolve old directory like this one: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Dmoz
Here is the new revived version of it: https://www.curlie.org/ but for sure something more sophisticated can and should exist.

#115Earlier quoted context omitted.
Mhh why do you want to go through all posts? My thought was that searching would be more useful than a huge list.
Certainly its not more useful, and ik the pitch for the site is a way to find collaborators which this wouldnt help at all. I just like seeing personal sites in a people watching kinda way. Its neat, and there's usually something interesting there, but I don't really have an objective behind it. Like scrolling twitter but instead of short form comedy and engagement bait its just peoples random ideas.
I agree with this!

#116This is such a cool project! I do wish that there was a way to see all websites in a each of the categories. A mega list of /ideas, for example

#117I attempted to add my website and received the message "Indexed your website successfully! Found posts...". However, when I searched for something related to my /about page or my domain, it did not appear in the results. How can I verify that my site has been successfully added?

#118Wow. Your site is awesome. I could use some similar stuff for books.

#119I 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 sub…
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?
Thank you phgn
I submitted my personal homepage.
Those GitHub conventions are helpful. I was hoping people would create entire repositories in a standard convention too. Similar to Rails conventions.

#120This 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.
One small personal social media site that often discusses issues surrounding building and hosting personal websites and social media sites is https://bluedwarf.top.
