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)

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 run a small ASCII art database (aahub.org) that's been going since 2017. Projects like this matter because the indie web's biggest problem isn't discovery — it's loneliness. You build something for years, and sometimes it feels like no one else is out there doing the same thing.

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

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 ?

I like the site though.

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

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

How do you populate this index?

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.
