Show HN: An index of indie web/blog indexes
theindex.fyiI 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!
The best part is reducing dependence on algorithmic feeds. Sometimes discovery should feel like wandering, not being optimized.
Nice project! Thanks for including Minifeed!
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

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.
Hey thank you! That’s awesome, I’ll take a look at Wander this afternoon
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
