    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:

    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

      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

        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

          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?

          > 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.
