We have all overused a single solution to "finding stuff on the web": the search engine. Now it's dying, killed by AI and by Google's greed.

There's no alternative left, no webrings, no web directories. If all your content is now only on your server, you're invisible.



I already submitted my take on this to Show HN: https://currantfeed.cc/. Noone gave a shit so it's most likely a very bad idea and certainly a very steep uphill battle. It's basically an Airbnb for websites that by default randomly sorts them and then you can filter by different attributes. Owners have to submit and maintain their "listings". It does have an optional subscription (I'm not sure if it works haven't tested it).


Do your part, link to a website you enjoy.

In some ways the last bastion of the real web are the web comics. Small personal projects where they link to like minded other projects.
