Show HN: An index of indie web/blog indexes(theindex.fyi)
29 points by rocketpastsix 5 hours ago | 12 comments

I saw a comment here about how there are so many indexes of indie sites, blogs, etc but there wasn't an index of all the indexes. So I built it. It doesn't require a log in, just go browse! I've curated about 30 or so, but there is a submission form if there are ones I am missing.

Also happy to take UI improvements because I am not great in that area!

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

The best part is reducing dependence on algorithmic feeds. Sometimes discovery should feel like wandering, not being optimized.

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

> colors

I'm always amazed when people go through the trouble of adding a light/dark theme switcher rather than just respecting the user's system preference with `prefers-color-scheme`[0].

You can do both, because some people like having per-site color controls.

Like I prefer to read prose and literary website content in light mode while keeping my OS in dark mode.

Admittedly it's a niche use case.

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! :-)

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

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check it out when I’m back from running errands

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

Agreed, hopefully someone finds a fun index that they like and it leads them to a new blog or site
