Show HN: An index of indie web/blog indexes (theindex.fyi)

As the internet gets filled with AI slop, these kind of indexes of real human thought are going to become more important.

Don't know where your colors and style come from, but imo you're doing fine on that front.

Nice project also! Bookmarked.

In the same vein; I stumbled upon Wander (pun intended) by browsing a HN post from yesterday. I really like that take on discovery of smaller curated websites. https://codeberg.org/susam/wander#readme

refined.blog doesn't work, goes to a GoDaddy page.

Nice project! Thanks for including Minifeed!

Wait, is this perhaps my comment/disussion?

"Are there any indexes which index all of these too?" - (comment written by me at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48069558)

I am not exactly sure if it was my comment itself which helped in it but no matter what, this is exactly what I was talking about and I am so glad that you made it!

Really awesome work! Definitely gonna add my blog site into a few of these and just gonna scroll it, ah this feels so good, i really appreciate your effort and I hope more people share even more indexes and it becomes an even more complete index of all indexes and we preserve the spirit of the open internet! This feels really good to me! :-)

Why does Kagi's Smallweb have a 'no submissions' label? I was under the impression you just PR:ed here: https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb

this is great. Google has a vendetta against small personal blogs and is one of the original reasons why I fell in love with Google was because I got to discover all these indie publishers. as much as I love sub stack and Reddit these platforms along with all the garbage and slop is pushing us down.

I'm hoping one day the entire internet forks

Any chance you can put https://hnarcade.com on there?

I’ve made a submission. I think as time passes there will be a niche for curated content thats free from AI slop.

This is an amazing project, alternative domain “the-indiex”

I love this so much. I believe there is a sea of valuable blogs being buried in google search indexing weird SEO rules, and whatever crawling the AI systems are doing. We need to preserve the actual human generated content that predates AI. Wishing you huge success, thank you!

Now we just need theindexindex (an index of indices of indie web/blog indexes).

It would just have one link to this site.

This is a tangent, but what I'd really like to see is for a "movement" of sorts where site owners explicitly only allow Kagi* as the only crawler for their site.

A way of saying "you know what, I've seen what Google has wrought, but they had some good ideas and utility at the start so I'd like Kagi to still crawl my site but no one else".

I don't know if that's even technically possible.

* I say Kagi here since they're the most prominent one I know of that are thinking about this problem. I am aware that that they too can change in the future.

I maintain a similar index-of-indexes but it's intentionally non-curated, restricted to indexes that use the OPML format, and uses autodiscovery to expand the list. The site needs some work, but it's up to 356 indexes.

I'd recommend looking at anything with "planet" in the name, there are a bunch of tech communities that manage community feeds and they are high quality. There are also a ton of personal blogroll recommendations via micro.blog too.

Shocked at the exclusion of gossips web!

I have a very similar list:

- indieblog.page, gossipsweb.net, html.energy, yesterweb.org, xn--sr8hvo.ws, personalsit.es, readsomethinginteresting.com, ooh.directory

- indieweb.org, handmade.network

- 1mb.club, 512kb.club, 250kb.club, 10kbclub.com, 1kb.club

- no-js.club, js1k.com, js1024.fun

- nocss.club

- uses.tech, nownownow.com, aprilcools.club

- whimsical.club, brutalistwebsites.com, spaghetti.directory

- neocities.org

Not sure if these are all still online since it's an old list

I visited it and it looks quite simple in style
