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!

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.

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
