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:
these are awesome. linking to all of them from III. i personally use Gossip's Web a lot (https://gossipsweb.net) to find new cool sites and wanted something similar but searchable. i also felt like i had a really good alliteration i couldnt waste
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
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

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

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?
entirely user submissions. think https://gossipsweb.net but with semantic search on user descriptions. fairly low key
> 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)
