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 https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/

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

> Main Street Wealth helps to sell and buy Home Services businesses. I like the site though.

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) https://wiby.me/

How do you populate this index?

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

Ah yes, the indie internet index, which does not load without javascript and has no source code linked.

Is it an index of nice sites for someone's LLM training set?
