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 https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/

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.

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://blogroll.org/

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)

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 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
