       | 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

         | III is basically Gossips Web but searchable. users submit sites

         | not a crawl-based index

       | 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:

         | find new cool sites and wanted something similar but
