Show HN: I built a search engine for independent websites (rawweb.org)
5 points by rook1e_dev 653 days ago
Hi, folks.

How would you define the "Golden Age" of the internet?

In my opinion, it’s when people ran personal websites, blogs, or portfolios to share thoughts and stories. These websites could be unstable, slow, or "ugly", but they were the true digital gardens of individuals, making the internet colorful.

It's such a pity that most of the content from independent websites is hidden in the corner.

Therefore, I built RawWeb (https://rawweb.org) to index all these hidden gems. It collects content through feeds (RSS, Atom) and sorts the results by relevance.

It also features an OPML parser. Feel free to submit your favorite personal blogs.

Reminds me a bit of Stract - https://stract.com/

Indexing feeds is a cool approach. There's some heuristic there that those sites may be more "independent", but I'm not sure.
