Show HN: An index of indie web/blog indexes

A humble little directory of the internet’s overlooked corners just landed on Hacker News, and the comments instantly turned it into a mini-manifesto against robot junk. The project itself is simple: a hand-kept list of 38 places to find personal websites, blogs, random discovery tools, and minimalist site clubs. But the crowd reaction? Much louder. One commenter flat-out declared that as the web fills up with “AI slop,” indexes of real human writing will only matter more. And honestly, that was the emotional headline of the whole thread.

The vibe was part applause, part digital rebellion. People loved the idea of escaping algorithm-controlled feeds and going back to stumbling across strange, interesting sites on purpose. One of the strongest reactions said discovery should feel like wandering, not like being constantly optimized by giant platforms. Another commenter even name-dropped Wander, leaning into the joke and the mood: less scrolling, more serendipity.

Still, no internet launch is complete without someone finding a loose floorboard. One user quickly pointed out that refined.blog goes to a GoDaddy page, the kind of tiny bit of chaos that gives every wholesome project a splash of comment-thread drama. Elsewhere, included site owners popped in with the digital equivalent of an awards speech — “Thanks for including Minifeed!” Overall, the crowd treated this not just as a list, but as a small act of resistance: a way to find actual people online again.
