Ask HN: Recently posted directory of personal sites/blogs?

[waffl]

Within the last month or so, there was a site posted that seemed to be a directory of personal websites/blogs organized by topic/theme that made it to the front page, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it again. The only result I'm finding is blogsurf.io (search engine), but this isn't what I'm thinking of.

I seem to recall the site, oddly enough, also having a purple background.

If anyone can refresh my memory it would be greatly appreciated.

Whether or not, it is what you were thinking of, I have found it super fun in general

Very likely.

Algolia search for "blog directory" doesn't turn up the submission, but it does turn up in comments search, restricted to the past month, for those looking for search-fu tips:

Ah yes, exactly and thanks for the search tips, I felt like I was misremembering something being unable to find what I was looking for!

Unfortunately for HN, titles make very poor search targets, all the more so because they're often obscure or obscured.

Comments offer a much larger target. Algolia's other features (searching by site or submitter / comment author), as well as obscure stuff like vote counts (submissions only) can be quite helpful.

I mine my own comments frequently, and that's a key benefit of using HN.

Thank you so much, that is precisely what I was looking for (my memory failed me regarding the background colour though, though there are purple elements). Thanks again, much appreciated.
